Research interests

  • Methodological work in statistical bioinformatics: Gene set tests, covariance structures, integration of multiple data sources
  • Applied work: Identification of transcriptional regulatory units in expression data sets of UMG's Heart Research Center on in vitro development of cardiomyocytes, as well as on pre- vs afterload
  • Mapping, filtering and statistical validation of protein-protein interaction networks
  • I am also partly active in pure mathematics: Computation of equivariant K-homology of Bianchi groups for non-trivial class groups

Selection of important talks I gave or will give

PhD thesis

Teaching

  • I gave several "Übungsgruppen" at the mathematical institute of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universtät, München in 2002 and 2003
  • I gave a lecture on applied functional analysis in spring semester 2008 at the Institute of Numerical and Applied Mathematics, Göttingen
  • I regularly teach the Perl part of the "Linux/Perl-Praktikum für Biologen und Mediziner"

Random stuff

From time to time, I might want to publish some random stuff here such as links to places I find interesting, etc etc. Please go here .
