Orcid Profile
Peter F. Stadler is a professor of Bioinformatics (C4) at the Institute of Computer Science in Leipzig, an External Scientific Member of the Max Planck Society affiliated with the MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences, and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute for Complex Systems. The overarching theme of his research is the search for a consistent understanding of biological processes (with an emphasis on (molecular) evolution) at the genotypic, phenotypic, and dynamical level. The techniques range from the analysis of the dynamical systems arising in chemical kinetics and population genetics to large-scale simulations of RNA evolution and the analysis of viral sequence data to knowledge-based protein potentials, and to algebraic combinatorics applied to the study of fitness landscapes.
During his career, Peter successfully supervised more than 50 Ph.D. students of which 7 have a professor position to date.
