Dr. Harald Lanig serves as Executive Secretary at the Erlangen National High Performance Computing Center (NHR@FAU) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, while maintaining active research in computational chemistry and molecular modeling. Previously, he was Managing Director of the Central Institute for Scientific Computing (ZISC) from 2013-2019 and has held various research positions at the University since completing his habilitation. Dr. Lanig received his Dr. rer. nat. from the Institute of Physical Chemistry at Julius-Maximilians University of Würzburg, with his thesis focusing on fluorescence spectroscopy and semiempirical model calculations. He completed his habilitation in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in 2012 with research on molecular dynamics simulations of organic molecules and biopolymers. His research interests center on computational approaches to biomolecular systems, with particular expertise in molecular dynamics simulations, protein-ligand docking, and comparative modeling techniques. His work spans applications in pharmaceutical chemistry, plant biochemistry (particularly cardenolide biosynthesis), structural biology of extracellular matrix proteins, and immunology. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on applying computational methods to solve complex biological problems, with increasing interdisciplinary collaborations spanning biochemistry, plant sciences, and immunology. His work demonstrates strong continuity in methodological approaches while expanding into new biological applications. Dr. Lanig has maintained an active research program alongside his administrative responsibilities, with 15 publications in the last five years (2019-2024) as co-author, demonstrating his ongoing engagement with the scientific community. His research has been supported through Collaborative Research Centers including CRC 814 (Additive Manufacturing) and CRC 1411 (Design of Particulate Products). As Executive Secretary at NHR@FAU, he oversees administrative operations of the National Center for High Performance Computing while continuing his research activities. His dual role bridges computational infrastructure management with active scientific research, positioning him at the intersection of high-performance computing and molecular sciences.
