"The fact that we can describe our universe and its formation mathematically and model it using supercomputers and clever algorithms is an immense cultural achievement. My research establishes the link between physical-mathematical description and astronomical observation and thus also helps us to better understand our place in the cosmos." (Oliver Hahn)
