Stellar evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars:
Low-mass stars: evolution, physics (mixing processes, nucleosynthesis)
intermediate-mass stars: Asymptotic Giant Branch (evolution, mixing, nucleosynthesis), Cepheids (convection, mass)
The Sun (interior structure, seismology, solar abundance problem)
Asteroseismology (giants, clusters, massive stars: models for seismic analysis; CoRoT, KEPLER, PLATO)
Clusters, globular and open (age, composition, sub-populations, laboratories for stellar structure theory)
Stellar ages (clusters, field stars, individual stars)
Dynamical and energetic events in stars (core helium flash, thermal pulses, convection, semiconvection, hydrostatic and -dynamic approach)
Evolution of Pop III stars (low-mass, composition, extremely metal-poor stars in the galactic halo)
Population synthesis: stellar models as input, AGB stars: evolutionary state and colours
AGB- and post-AGB-evolution (see above; and - how to produce good models for AGB-stars?)
As a professor (Honorar-Professur) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (since 2001) I am teaching regularly for the astronomy master program, and have been supervising Diploma, Master, and PhD students.
