Michael Janssen

Dr. Michael Janssen is an Assistant Professor in Astrophysics at Radboud University, Netherlands. His research focuses on black hole physics, radio astronomy, and VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) techniques. He specializes in data reduction and synthetic data generation for the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), with particular attention to radio sources like Sgr A*, M87, and Centaurus A. His work addresses accretion processes, jet formation, and AGN feedback mechanisms. He also explores stellar evolution, star formation, and GRMHD simulations to model VLBI observations.

Key technical expertise includes calibration and imaging of EHT data, polarimetry analysis, and software tools like CASA. His research integrates observational data with theoretical models to understand phenomena such as black hole dynamics and galactic evolution.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text. He is affiliated with the Nijmegen campus and contributes to collaborative projects in radio astronomy and astrophysics.
