Mentoring

Mentorship is one of the most rewarding parts of my work as a researcher. I genuinely enjoy guiding students and early-career scientists through the discovery process—helping them develop their ideas, build confidence, and gain the skills they need to thrive in research. Investing time in others’ development strengthens the science we do together and builds the collaborative, supportive culture in which I believe research should be rooted.

  • My PhD thesis in plots

    In July 2023 I submitted my PhD thesis “Gas matters: The Molecular and Atomic Gas Budget in Nearby Galaxies from Centers to Outskirts“. On October 24, 2023 I successfully defended my thesis and it is published since December 18, 2023 on bonndoc. Here I’d like to show you my thesis in plots only: The correspondingContinue…

  • Order your matplotlib legend

    Sometimes you need a specific order of your labels in your matplotlib legend.You automatically will have an order of line1, line2, line3, scatter1, scatter2: But let’s say you need an order of scatter1, line1, scatter 2, .. The following snipped is an easy fix and very useful:
