About Me | Selected Papers | Research Group
I am heading the Statistics and Computational Biology research group at the Institute of Medical Informatics, Statistics, and Epidemology (IMISE) of the University of Leipzig. The group was established January 2002 at the Department of Statistics of the University of Munich under the auspices of the Emmy Noether excellence programme. Since February 2007 we are based in Leipzig.
Earlier, I was postdoc at the University of Oxford (2000-2001) and GSF Munich (1999) and worked as researcher at Siemens Corporate Technology (1998-1999). I obtained my Ph.D. thesis in December 1997 on the topic of "Maximum likelihood methods in molecular phylogenetics" from the Biology Department of the University of Munich. In 1996 I spent the spring term as visiting graduate student at the University of Cambridge. My diploma thesis (1994) from the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the University of Munich was about general relativity.
