Live and act

Thomas Lengauer studied until 1975 at the Free University of Berlin Mathematics and in 1976 in mathematics to Dr. rer. nat. PhD . He completed a degree in computer science ( Master of Science 1976; PhD 1979) at Stanford University . From 1979 to 1981 he was employed by Bell Labs .

After his habilitation at the University of Saarland he received in 1984 a call to the University of Paderborn . From 1992 to 2001 he was a professor at the University of Bonn , where he was also director of the Institute for Algorithmic and Scientific Computing during the same period .

Thomas Lengauer has been director of the “Computational Biology and Applied Algorithmics” working group at the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science in Saarbrücken and a scientific member of the Max Planck Society since 2001 . He was appointed honorary professor at the University of Bonn (2003) and the University of Saarland (2001).

Lengauer has been Vice President of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) since 2014 . In September 2016 Lengauer was elected future President of the ISCB.

Lengauer has been a member of the executive committee of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina since 2015.

His twin brother Christian Lengauer was a professor at the University of Passau (Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics).

Act

Lengauer is primarily concerned with combinatorial optimization in science and technology, "Computational Biology" (in German: Bioinformatics ) and "Computational Chemistry".
