Alexander Kappes

Alexander Kappes is a Researcher at the Chair of Astronomy (Lehrstuhl für Astronomie) at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany. He is affiliated with the AG Kadler research group, led by Prof. Dr. Matthias Kadler. His work focuses on high-energy astrophysics, particularly blazar activity and neutrino astronomy. Kappes contributes to multi-messenger studies involving blazar outbursts and their correlation with high-energy neutrino events detected by instruments like IceCube and ANTARES.

His research is anchored in the Department of Astronomy within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Kappes’ studies integrate radio observations from TANAMI (Tracking Active Galactic Nuclei with Austral Milliarcsecond Interferometry) and gamma-ray data to explore astrophysical processes in active galactic nuclei.
