Alexander Schliep received the PhD degree in computer science from the Center for Applied Computer Science at the University of Cologne, Germany (2001), working in collaboration with the Theoretical Biology and Biophysics Group (T-10) at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since 2002 he has been a group leader of the Bioinformatics Algorithms Group in the Department for Computational Biology at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin. The research interests pursued in his group include data mining, statistical models, and algorithms for analyzing complex and heterogeneous data from molecular biology.

He will be joining Rutgers University as an associate professor in August 2009. The position is jointly between the Department of Computer Science and the BioMaPS Institute for Quantitative Biology
