about

Hi! I’m Andreas Kröpelin. I study computational and data science at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität in Jena, Germany. My undergraduate studies were in bioinformatics, and I am generally interested in the use of maths and computer science to answer scientific questions.

Topics I am excited about

• mathematical modelling
• simulations of scientific phenomena
• machine learning (mandatory…)
• solving optimisation problems with evolutionary heuristics
• explaining and presenting science to everyone who would listen
• fast and elegant scientific computing in Julia
• building performant and robust applications in Rust

Opinions on some semi-religious questions

I prefer vim over emacs, I use spaces instead of tabs, my curly brackets go in the same line, and I say “die Nutella”. ;)
