Paula Kilp

has a background in computer science and biology, which makes her a bioinformatician. The evolution of molecules, genes and species as well as the runtime of algorithms have given her a keen eye for looking at things at great orders of time and magnitude. She has organized interdisciplinary seminars like 'if then - but why?', a lecture series as well as a summer school on genomic sequencing and analysis at Goethe University in Frankfurt.
