  • Particle acceleration in non-thermal objects
  • Astrophysical sources of high-energy neutrinos
  • Interactions of gamma rays with metagalactic radiation fields
  • Indirect signatures of dark matter
  • Medium-energy gamma-ray space observatories COSI and ASTROGAM
  • Very-high-energy ground-based gamma-ray telescopes MAGIC,  FACT and LST
  • Contributions to future international observatories CTA, SKA, KM3NeT and JEM-EUSO
