The following table provides the names and weblinks of potential PhD supervisors. This is a list consisting of most of the current staff members of the 5 Heidelberg astronomy institutes offering PhD projects.
Feel free to contact them if you find common interests for a PhD project.

Below that you find a list of IMPRS "officials" tantamount to IMPRS contact persons.

The IMPRS executive board consists of representatives from all five astronomy institutes participating in IMPRS Heidelberg and the student representatives.
