Martin Middendorf

Prof. Dr. Martin Middendorf is a faculty member at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Leipzig University, Germany. He leads the Swarm Intelligence and Complex Systems Group and focuses on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computational methods and biological systems.

• Fields of Interest
• Swarm Intelligence
• Bioinformatics
• Genome Rearrangement Analysis
• Combinatorial Optimization
• Evolutionary Algorithms
• Task Allocation in Multi-Agent Systems

His recent research emphasizes mitochondrial genome annotation, predator-prey dynamics in swarm systems, and metaheuristic algorithms for dynamic optimization. Key trends include de-Bruijn graph applications, pheromone-dependent movement modeling, and automated behavior tracking in social insects.

• Supervised Students
• Dr. Nicolas Wieseke
• Dr. Hoang Thanh Le
• Dr. Fatma Turna
• Tobias Jagla
• Carsten Seemann

Prof. Middendorf's group develops tools like DeGeCI 1.1 for mitochondrial gene annotation and explores swarm-controlled emergence in ant clustering systems. They apply swarm intelligence principles to solve real-world problems in vehicle routing, sewer network design, and biomedical signal processing.
