Excellent – The Star Researcher | Tomorrow Today

One of the researchers at the Universe excellence cluster is Andreas Burkert. He studied physics and astronomy in Munich and is today one of the cluster's two directors. He and his team develop computer programs that replicate the growth of entire galaxies - a process that in reality takes billions of years.But his work is more than about just number juggling; what also fascinates him is trying to understand the beauty of the universe.
