Biography

Michael currently leads the Applied Math team in the Scientific Computing department at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus. His work spans image reconstruction and analysis of large-scale microscopy datasets, spatio-temporal simulation of biochemical and biomechanical processes, and machine learning methods for biological data.

While his studies in mathematics provided Michael with the abstract problem solving skills necessary in modern science, he soon craved actual problems to solve. This led him to pursue an additional degree in physics and to focus his further mathematical studies in a particular field of applied mathematics: analysis and numerical simulation of partial differential equations.

During his PhD in this field with Prof. Dirk Praetorius at TU Wien, Michael concentrated on the simulation aspect and became passionate about writing maintainable and efficient numerical software; an interest that had already been sparked in previous research stays at the Austrian Institute of Technology and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. Before becoming a team lead at Janelia, Michael worked as a Software Engineer applying these methods to biological data.
