Sven Thiele

Dr. Sven Thiele is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, Germany, specializing in computational approaches to biological systems. He works in room S2.18 and can be contacted at +49 391 6110 483.

His research focuses on applying computational logic to biological problems:

• Logic modeling of biological systems
• Answer Set Programming applications
• Metabolic network analysis
• Gene regulatory network modeling

Dr. Thiele is a key contributor to the BioASP project, which develops open-source tools for analyzing biological data using Answer Set Programming. The project enables analysis of metabolic, signaling, and gene regulatory networks, with capabilities for model consistency checking, diagnosis, and repair.

As part of the international BioASP team, he collaborates with researchers from multiple institutions across Europe:

• DyLISS, CNRS & Inria (Rennes, France)
• Potassco, Potsdam University (Germany)
• MeForBio, IRCCyN & CNRS (Nantes, France)
• Systems Biomedicine, EMBL-EBI (Hinxton, UK)
