About me

Hi :) I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Life & Medical Sciences Institute (LIMES) at the University of Bonn, and the Institute of Computational Biology (ICB) at the Helmholtz Center Munich. I lead a team on multi-scale modeling in the research group of Jan Hasenauer.

Research interests

In my work at the interface of mathematics, machine learning and biology, I develop statistical inference methods for mechanistic models of biochemical systems. In particular, my interests include:

• Likelihood-free inference using approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) for multi-scale multi-cellular models
• Gradient calculation for large-scale differential equation models
• Pharmacological non-linear mixed-effect modeling
• Neural likelihood and posterior estimation
• Multi-fidelity inference methods
• Dynamical modeling of gene expression on single-cell level
