René Goosmann is a faculty member (maître de conférences) at the University of Strasbourg, France, conducting research at the Astronomical Observatory. As a member of the High Energy Group he works at the interface between observational and theoretical astrophysics and specializes in the multi-wavelength modeling of radiative transfer in astrophysical plasmas with a specific application to the environment of accreting black holes. He has been involved in the scientific preparation of past X-ray observatory projects and currently serves on the Science Study Team of the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer (XIPE), a mission candidate in response to ESA's M4 call. |
