Summary
Lars Jermiin is an evolutionary bioinformatics leader with nearly three decades of academic and research experience and nine years in roles emphasizing computational biology and data stewardship. Currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Galway and Honorary Professor at ANU, he has held senior research and leadership positions across CSIRO, University of Sydney, and UCD, bridging mathematical, statistical and biological sciences. His work focuses on molecular evolution, population genetics and building bioinformatics infrastructure, with a track record of translating complex evolutionary theory into practical computational tools and stewardship practices. Based in Galway, he brings a rare combination of deep theoretical training (PhD in molecular evolution) and hands-on management of data-intensive research programs. An understated strength is his sustained international career mobility, reflecting an ability to form cross-institutional collaborations and nurture interdisciplinary teams.
