Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandros Stamatakis is a full professor and research group leader specializing in algorithms, parallel computing, and evolutionary bioinformatics, with over 14 years leading scientific computing and HPC efforts at HITS. Trained at TU Munich and ENS Lyon, he developed parallel algorithms for phylogenetic inference during his PhD and postdoctoral work across Europe, later securing an Emmy‑Noether grant to launch his independent group. He combines deep theoretical expertise with hands‑on management of IT and HPC infrastructure, bridging academic research and production systems. Appointments at KIT and the University of Arizona reflect a global collaborative footprint and a knack for translating complex computational methods into scalable tools for evolutionary biology. An underrated strength is his long track record of building and sustaining interdisciplinary teams that deploy parallel architectures for real-world genomic workloads.
