Tim Huege

Tim Huege is a Professor of Astrophysics at the Inter-University Institute for High Energies (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and group leader of the Cosmic Ray Simulations group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. His research focuses on radio detection of cosmic ray air showers, development of simulation frameworks (CoREAS, CORSIKA8), and applications of Information Field Theory in astroparticle physics. He serves as task leader in the Pierre Auger Collaboration and as co-task leader for radio detection activities.

Research Interests include:

• Radio emission from extensive air showers
• Cosmic ray energy estimation via geosynchrotron
• Neutrino detection using radio arrays
• Interferometric reconstruction techniques
• Atmospheric effects on particle cascade simulations

Scientific Leadership involves:

• Lead developer of CoREAS simulation code
• Coordinator for CORSIKA8 project
• Member of SKA High-Energy Cosmic Particles Working Group
• Former contributor to LOPES, Tunka-Rex, and KASCADE-Grande collaborations

His work spans detector calibration, shower parameter reconstruction, and multi-messenger astrophysics with key publications in Astroparticle Physics, Physical Review D/Letters, and JCAP. Current projects address noise compensation in radio detection, inclined shower simulations, and neutrino astronomy.
