Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnnika Jochheim is a postdoctoral researcher based in Marburg with ten years of experience at the intersection of computational biology and software engineering. Currently at the Globe Institute after doctoral and postdoctoral work at the Max Planck Institute, she pairs algorithmic research with hands-on backend implementation. She contributes to production-grade bioinformatics software—most notably C++ bug fixes and core alignment/database improvements to the widely used MMseqs2 suite—demonstrating rare attention to low-level issues like compiler compatibility and sequence-to-nucleotide alignment. With an MSc in Bioinformatics and a BSc in Computing in Science, she specializes in turning computational methods into robust, reproducible tools for research pipelines.
