معرفی
Prof. Dr. Ulf Leser serves as Professor and Deputy Director at the Institute of Computer Science within Humboldt University of Berlin's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. His work bridges computer science and life sciences through bioinformatics and knowledge management systems, with significant contributions to scientific workflow optimization and biomedical text mining.
His research spans multiple high-impact areas:
- Bioinformatics and precision oncology tool development (e.g., OncoTagger for cancer gene curation)
- Scientific workflow systems with focus on carbon-aware execution and energy efficiency
- Biomedical natural language processing for relation extraction and knowledge base curation
- Advanced time series analysis methods (e.g., ClaSP for segmentation)
- Environmental monitoring through satellite data analysis
Recent publications (2023-2026) reveal three dominant trends: (1) Integration of explainable AI in healthcare assessment systems, (2) Sustainable computing approaches for scientific workflows including carbon-aware scheduling, and (3) Advancement of biomedical text mining through knowledge-augmented language models. His work consistently targets real-world applications in precision medicine and environmental science.
Prof. Leser currently supervises students including Michael Piechotta (Diplom in Bioinformatics, defense scheduled September 2025). As Deputy Director and Faculty Council member, he shapes institutional research strategy while leading projects at the intersection of computer science and life sciences. His group maintains active collaborations with biomedical research institutions and contributes to community standards in scientific workflow systems.
