Active galactic nuclei are some of the most powerful sources in the
cosmos and M81*, a nearby low-luminosity AGN, offers a unique window
into their jet dynamics. In this thesis, we explore compelling evidence
of jet precession and flaring variability in M81* using over 60
high-resolution VLBI observations (VLBA, EVN) and complementary
multi-frequency monitoring with the Effelsberg radio telescope. Our
analysis traces the jet's evolving orientation and disentangles its
variability across time and frequency, providing new insights into AGN
behavior in the sub-Eddington regime.
