Research:
I studied Bioinformatics in the joint diploma program of Technische Universität München and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and spent one semester abroad at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I wrote my diploma thesis in the modelling group of the Viroquant Institute at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg. The topic of my thesis was Bayesian Learning on Boolean Gene Regulatory Networks Inferred from Expression Data.
I am currently working on my PhD-Thesis on network-based interpretation of gene regulatory systems within the graduate program RECESS (www.cellular-systems.de/). RECESS is an International Research Training School (IRTG) school for computer science in the TUM Graduate School and is funded by the DFG. RECESS brings together researchers from the Munich universities LMU and TUM and Moscow State University. The central theme of the research program, the regulation and evolution of cellular systems, serves to unite research groups from several disciplines (including bioinformatics, computer science, proteomics, bioengineering, biology, and biochemistry) and promote collaboration between theoreticians and experimentalists to model and understand similarities and differences in the logic and quantitative behaviour of regulatory networks among species based on high-throughput expression data.
