Team Details

I am a junior group leader interested in theoretical and computational biophysics applied to various biological questions. We develop stochastic simulations to study the dynamics of coarse-grained mesoscopic systems.

Research Projects

• DFG funded - EtransColi: A multidisciplinary study of Escherichia coli's trans-translation regulation under stress conditions
  2 positions. We are hiring a PhD student!
• BioSC funded - PREDIG:
  • Modelling software to predict the enzymatic digestion of biomass : Dr Partho Sakha De
  • Developing the online interface and release of the software: Torben Glass
• CEPLAS funded- Impact of drought on the secondary cell wall of poplar xylem, a multi-disciplinary approach
  We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher!
• CEPLAS funded - Modelling gene expression regulation at the whole-translatome scale under controlled optogenetic perturbation
