Sebastian Ahnert

Sebastian Ahnert is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology, University of Cambridge and a Senior Research Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. He gained his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Cambridge and took up a Leverhulme Fellowship there, followed by a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and a Gatsby Career Development Fellowship. His research interests lie in the intersection of theoretical physics, biology, mathematics and computer science. He is particularly interested in using algorithmic descriptions of structures and functional systems in order to quantify and classify their complexity. Connected to this he is also interested in interdisciplinary applications of network analysis.
