In the news
Journalists generally write about science in a way that is more comprehensible to the public than scientists do. Below are some noteworthy articles related to my research.

IBM press release about one of our joint experiments (in German) | We carried out a big computational experiment in collaboration with IBM and CloudBroker. In short, we used 1000 computers part of the IBM cloud during a little more than a week to calculate 3D structures of proteins from S.pyogenes. The story was also published here: Computerworld, netzwoche, inside-it and moneycab, all in German |
