I am professor for Data Analytics and Computational Statistics at Hasso-Plattner-Institut and the Digital Engineering Faculty of the University of Potsdam. I am further Professor at the department of mathematics and computer science at Freie Universitaet Berlin and faculty at the International Max Planck Research School on Biology and Computing in Berlin.
Previously, I was director and professor at Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, Germany, where I built up the Bioinformatics unit and the department for methods development and research infrastructure.
