Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLoukas Theodosiou is a Senior Scientist in Data Science & Analytics with over a decade of cross-disciplinary experience applying machine learning and mathematical modelling to bioinformatics, population genomics, and transcriptional dynamics. Holding a PhD in Ecology and Evolution, he has led algorithm and pipeline development for eRNA prediction, SNP calling, and GRO-seq downstream analysis across Max Planck institutes and industry partners. He combines hands-on software engineering (Nextflow, R package development, cloud deployments) with strong statistical framing to turn complex genomic datasets into actionable biological insights. His work spans bacterial genome assembly and barcoded lineage modelling to plant regulatory element discovery, reflecting rare depth across microbes and plants. Loukas has repeatedly translated research-grade methods into production-ready tools and databases (including UCSC browser maintenance), enabling reproducible genomics workflows at scale. Based in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, he brings a curiosity-driven approach that pairs ecological theory with pragmatic data science to uncover hidden patterns in genome biology.
