Eugen Czeizler obtained his PhD in Mathematics (Theoretical Computer Science) in 2007 at University of Turku, Finland. Afterwards, he has been a researcher at University of Western Ontario, Canada and Aalto University, Finland. Currently he is a senior researcher at Abo Akademi University. With a passion for both Life Sciences, Mathematics, and Computer Science, he is leaving his dream of merging all these three fields into an active research on understanding the dynamics of complex (bio-chemical and biomedical) systems and developing optimal designs of synthetic systems performing well defined, large scale actions. His research interests lie within: (i) algorithms, optimisation, and data analytics in bio-medicine, (ii) mathematical and computational modelling, (iii) algorithmic nanotechnology and structural optimization in DNA algorithmic self-assembly, and (iv) theoretical computer science, incl. algorithms, complexity, and dynamical systems.
