People & Supervision
The people I supervise and have supervised, and how supervision of theses and research internships works, including the conditions and the enquiry form.
The work spans computational RNA biology, with a focus on RNA structure prediction, RNA design, structured viral RNAs, RNA–protein interactions, and folding kinetics. Those involved come from backgrounds including bioinformatics, chemistry, molecular biology, physics, and data analysis.
Current supervision
researchers currently supervised or co-supervisedAffiliations show where each researcher is enrolled. I supervise them through ongoing collaborations with those institutions.
Former group members
supervised at the University of Vienna and FH Campus WienThesis and internship supervision
I supervise bachelor, master and doctoral theses as well as research internships on topics in RNA structure prediction, folding kinetics, functional RNA design and viral RNA biology, the areas described on the research page, and the people I currently supervise are listed above. Students enrolled at the University of Vienna are supervised through the Theoretical Biochemistry Group, students of other universities through a collaboration with their home institution.
No open positions. I currently have no funded doctoral or postdoctoral positions, and I do not accept doctoral candidates without secured funding. Generic requests for PhD supervision, i.e. messages that name neither a specific topic from my research nor a concrete source of funding, are not answered. This applies to the form below as well as to email.
The form is for bachelor and master theses and research internships of enrolled students, and for doctoral candidates who hold a scholarship or fellowship of their own, or have applied for one (name it in the message). It asks for the few things I need in order to answer: your programme, the kind of thesis, the funding, the earliest start, and a few sentences on what you would like to work on and what you bring, e.g. relevant courses, programming experience or laboratory background.
Thank you, your enquiry has arrived. A confirmation has gone to your address. You will hear back from me, usually within a few working days.
