Knut Reinert

Knut Reinert (born 19 January 1968) is a German computer scientist and bioinformatician who has worked in computational biology and algorithm development.[1][2] He is currently a full professor at the Institute of Computer Science at Free University of Berlin, where he leads the Algorithmic Bioinformatics research group.[3]

Knut Reinert

Early Life and education

Reinert completed his undergraduate studies in Computer Science at the University of the Saarland in 1994.[2] He then pursued his doctoral studies at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, earning his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1999 under the supervision of Kurt Mehlhorn and Hans-Peter Lenhof.[4][5][6] His doctoral thesis, titled "A Polyhedral Approach to Sequence Alignment Problems", focused on solving NP-hard sequence alignment problems for Proteins and RNA using methods from combinatorial optimization.[7]

Academic career

After completing his Ph.D., Reinert worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Celera Genomics (Rockville, USA) from 1999 to 2002.[4][5] During this time, he worked in the Informatics Research group under the guidance of Gene Myers[8] on the first whole genome shotgun assemblies of Drosophila melanogaster[9] and Human.[10] Later he also contributed on algorithms for the analysis of mass spectrometry analysis.[11]

In 2002, Reinert joined Free University of Berlin as a professor in the Institute of Computer Science.[5] He established the Algorithmic Bioinformatics research group, which has since become a leading center for bioinformatics research in Germany. Since 2015, his group is partner in the Center for Integrative Bioinformatics within the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure project.[12]

Research

Reinert's research lies at the intersection of computer science and biology. His work spans several key areas, including algorithms for sequence analysis, processing large-scale sequencing data, and mass spectrometry data analysis.[1][2] Focusing on developing efficient algorithms and data structures for analysing large-scale biological data, he started the development of SeqAn,[13] an open-source C++ software library and co-started the OpenMS[11] project together with Oliver Kohlbacher.

Awards and recognition

Knut Reinert was appointed a Max-Planck fellow in 2014[14] and was accepted as a member of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation.[15]
