A new professor at the Faculty of Computer Science - Welcome to Prof. Dr. Ludwig Lausser

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Ludwig Maximilian Lausser has been the new Professor of Biomedical Informatics at the Faculty of Informatics since October. His research interests lie in the development of classification models based on high-throughput biomolecular measurements. Before his appointment at THI, he worked as a private lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering, Computer Science and Psychology and as a research assistant at the Institute for Medical Systems Biology at the University Medical Centre Ulm. Here he habilitated in the field of machine learning on topics of semantic data integration.

Previously, Prof. Dr. Lausser worked in Jena as a research assistant at the Leibniz Institute for Research on Ageing - Fritz Lipmann Institute in the research group for bioinformatics and systems biology of ageing. Here he conducted research in interdisciplinary consortia on issues of age-associated diseases from neurology and oncology.

Ludwig Lausser completed his studies in computer science with a thesis on zebra crossing recognition for autonomous driving with distinction and subsequently completed his doctorate (summa cum laude) at the Institute for Neuroinformatics at the University of Ulm on the development of robust classification methods. 

In addition to his teaching activities, Prof. Dr. Lausser is involved in the Society for Classification (GfKl) - Data Science Society, where he is deputy head of the Working Group on Classification and Data Analysis in the Life Sciences (WG BT).

We warmly welcome Prof. Dr. Lausser to the Faculty of Computer Science and look forward to working with him.
