On December 1, 2008,
Dr. Guido Thimm started his new position as scientific manager at the ZAH. In 1992, Dr. Thimm received his PhD in astronomy with a thesis on galaxy clusters. After a short postdoc period at MPIA and ESO he left science and accepted a position as a civil servant at the firefighter department of the city of Stuttgart, where he has been working in a leading position until last month.
Dr. Guido Thimm will support the ZAH directorate in research, teaching and administrative tasks, e.g. in obtaining and administering soft money projects, project management, coordination of ZAH-wide activities, cooperation with outside institutions as well as in public outreach. His office is at the ARI, main building, first floor, room number 9. His e-mail address is thimm@ari.uni-heidelberg.de, his telephone number is 54-1805. With great pleasure we welcome him "back to astronomy" and wish him a very enjoyable and successful time at the ZAH and all the best for his new position. |
