Computational Analysis and Modeling in Complex Intelligent Systems

Dr Bauer is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Surrey, UK. He received his Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Computational Science and Engineering from ETH Zuerich, Switzerland. Afterwards, he did his doctoral studies at the Institute for Neuroinformatics (ETH Zürich/Uni Zürich). After postdoctoral fellowships at Newcastle University (UK) he moved to the University of Surrey in 2020, where he leads the COMBYNE research lab (www.combynelab.com). He currently serves as the Head of the Nature Inspired Computing and Engineering (NICE) Research Group, comprising over 40 researchers.Dr Bauer is an Editorial Board member with PloS Computational Biology.

Dr Bauer conducts research in computational biology and biomedical engineering. His research focuses on developing computational models to better understand complex biological systems, particularly in the areas of neuroscience and oncology. He integrates multi-scale biological data with computational simulations to identify key factors that influence disease progression or treatment efficacy. His interdisciplinary approach bridges gaps between experimental biology and computational science, fostering new avenues for collaboration across disciplines. Notably, he is co-founder and spokesperson of the international BioDynaMo collaboration, which has created the open-source and high-performance agent-based modelling software BioDynaMo (www.biodynamo.org).
