Andreas Schrimpf

Andreas Schrimpf serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Philipps University of Marburg. His institutional roles include Research Associate, Doctoral Supervisor, and Lecturer within the physics faculty.

His research spans astronomy and astrophysics with particular emphasis on historical astronomy from the 18th to 20th centuries, exoplanet systems, and astronomical instrumentation. Schrimpf combines historical analysis with contemporary observational techniques, as evidenced by his work utilizing photographic plates to study celestial phenomena.

His recent publications reveal a trajectory bridging historical scientific practices with modern astronomical research. This interdisciplinary approach connects archival methods with current observational astronomy, particularly in the study of stellar systems and their companions.

As a Doctoral Supervisor, Schrimpf mentors graduate students in physics and astronomy. His teaching responsibilities for winter semester 2025/26 include the Astronomy working group seminar (Advanced Seminar | LV-13-128-214) and Python 2 - Modern Statistical Methods for Scientists (Lecture/Exercise | LV-13-128-235), demonstrating his commitment to both specialized astronomical knowledge and computational methodology training.
