About me

I am an associate professor of Computational Mathematics at Department of Mathematics. My work is highly interdisciplinary and comprises topics in mathematics, computer science and bioinformatics. In general, my research focuses on mathematical characterization of data and structures and the design of efficient algorithms as well as complexity theory. In particular, the development of mathematical theory and algorithms to help understanding complex processes in life sciences are one of my main interests. You can find more details on my personal hompage.
