Olga Kalinina combines genomic-, modeling-, and bio­physics-based me­thods to assess the mutations observed in given se­quences of viral proteins and infer their potential influence on the function of the protein. This enables sug­gestions for drug treat­ment of viral diseases.

We could improve the bounds of numerical steps needed to find an exact solution for polynomial systems by multiple orders of magnitude. Given present knowledge, [...]

For anaglyph 3D pictures we provide a backward compatible solution that is not unpleasant to look at without proper [...]

The interrelation between supply and demand is easily described as long as you have just one good. For the complicated calculations in an economy with many goods, many suppliers, and many buyers Ran Duan and Kurt Mehlhorn found a relatively simple combinatorial algorithm.

Processing „Big Data“ poses new challenges to computer science. At the Max Plack Institute for Informatics, we are investigating algorithms and systems to mine useful information from large, complex data sources efficiently and effectively.
