Just as a brief introduction. I am currently a postdoc at the Steinegger Lab at Seoul National University, South Korea. I finished my PhD in 2025 in bioinformatics under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Olga Kalinina and Prof. Dr. Tobias Marschall. I mainly worked on genome graphs and pangenomes, I have looked into these topics in both bacteria and human and mostly worked on developing tools that work with genomic graphs.
I worked at HIPS (Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research) in Saarbrücken, Germany for the first year of my PhD then moved to the university of Düsseldorf end of 2020 where I'm still working on my PhD there.
I am very interested in the use of graphs and graph algorithms in genetics, genomes, and pangenomes. I find algorithms and programming very fascinating in general, which was my motivation to go from Bioengineering to Bioinformatics in the first palce.
