Carl W. Fenski M.Sc.
(Er/Ihn)
Student Assistant
I am part of the “NoSHADE” group and conduct research on the history of the solar system through records in the Atacama Desert, Chile. My research interests lie particularly in reconstructing the origins of cosmic dust. In my work, I combine experimental approaches and numerical simulations.

Vita
My academic career began with a Bachelor’s degree in Physics at the University of Bremen, during which I gained initial interdisciplinary experience at the interface of physics, biophysics, and materials science. In December 2025, I completed my Master’s degree in Physics at the Technical University of Berlin. My Master’s thesis was conducted at the Institute of Physics and Astronomy in collaboration with the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin as part of the ERC-funded NoSHADE project and focused on the origin of micrometeorites from the Atacama Desert using cosmogenic radionuclides. In this work, I combined experimental laboratory research, fieldwork, and data-driven modeling with the aim of systematically analyzing complex scientific questions and placing them within broader astrophysical contexts.
