Florian Pacaud

Dr. Florian Pacaud is a Research Professor at the University of Bonn's Argelander Institute for Astronomy, focusing on cosmological studies using X-ray observations of galaxy clusters. His research examines large-scale structure formation through multi-wavelength surveys and statistical methods.

His investigations span dark matter distribution, cosmological parameter estimation, and intracluster medium physics. He coordinates major collaborative projects including eROSITA data processing and XXL Survey cosmology groups.

Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on cluster cosmology, with emphasis on weak lensing calibrations, cluster abundance measurements, and constraints on modified gravity theories. Article trends show consistent application of advanced statistical techniques to large astronomical datasets.

• Coordinated XMM-Newton observation programs (AO8, AO10, AO13)
• DLR funded projects on galaxy clusters and cosmology

Supervises doctoral candidates in cosmological studies and maintains active collaborations within international astronomy consortia.
