Matthias Kadler

Prof. Dr. Matthias Kadler is the Chair of Astronomy at the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, University of Würzburg. His research focuses on black holes and relativistic jets in active galaxies, using multiwavelength observations (radio to gamma-ray) and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI).

• Chair of Astronomy, University of Würzburg (since 2011)
• Co-Program Manager of the TANAMI Collaboration
• Member of the Fermi/LAT Science Working Group

Research Interests:

• Formation and collimation of relativistic jets
• Multiwavelength studies of TeV-emitting AGN
• Neutrino emission from blazars
• High-redshift blazar populations

Recent Scientific Trends from his articles include: millimeter-VLBI jet imaging, gamma-ray flares at cosmic dawn (z>4), and neutrino correlations with AGN flaring. His work bridges astrophysics and astroparticle physics through projects like TELAMON and ANTARES.

Awards and Funding:

• 2007 Otto-Hahn Medal (Max Planck Society)
• NRC Associateship (2005) and NASA Postdoctoral Fellow (2006-2008)

Advisory Roles: Chair of the ANTARES Institution Board and Conference Committee. Collaborations include KM3NeT, Fermi/LAT, and VLBA/LBA VLBI arrays.
