Welcome to my web pages. I am a research associate in the cosmology group at the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Edinburgh. I did my graduate and undergraduate studies at the Argelander-Institut für Astronomie at Bonn University and also spent some time working at University College London.

How to get in touch with me
B. Joachimi
My research focuses on the theory, methodology, and analysis of probes of the large-scale structure of the Universe, in particular weak gravitational lensing. My interests range from the understanding and control of galaxy intrinsic alignments to the fundamentals of cosmological data analysis and statistical inference.

I have been involved in the first fully tomographic cosmic shear analysis using the Hubble Space Telescope COSMOS Survey, and led an investigation into intrinsic alignments in large galaxy samples of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Moreover I am a member of the Euclid Consortium, a planned ESA satellite to measure cosmic shear and galaxy clustering over the full extra-galactic sky. I have also coordinated the Holigrail observational cosmology project at AIfA for three years.
