The STRUCTURES Cluster of Excellence is proud to announce that two of its members, Prof Dr Simon Anders and Dr Dylan Nelson, have been recognized as "Highly Cited Researchers" in the latest international evaluation conducted by the analytics company Clarivate. The “Highly Cited Researchers” list includes a total of 20 disciplines from the natural, life and social sciences as well as the cross-field category, recognizing researchers with an outstanding track-record of publications across several disciplines. The latest list of highly cited researchers assessed publications between 2013 and 2023. Highly cited publications are those in the top 1% by citations in their respective field and year of publication.
Prof Dr Simon Anders (Biology/Biochemistry):
Prof Dr Simon Anders is heading the Bioinformatics tools for omics data group at BioQuant and ZMBH. Within STRUCTUREShe is part of Comprehensive Project (CP) 3: From Molecules to Cells and Tissue, and involved in the Exploratory Project (EP): Mathematical modelling and model-based data analysis of structured stem cell systems. His research involves developing computational tools for biologists to analyse and interpret high-throughput assay data, particularly in sequencing, visual exploration of large datasets, and integrating transcriptomics and proteomics in functional genomics and systems medicine.
Dr Dylan Nelson (Astrophysics):
Dr Dylan Nelson is heading the "Computational Galaxy Formation and Evolution" Emmy Noether Junior Research Group at the Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics of the Center for Astrophysics (ZAH) at Heidelberg University. Within STRUCTUREShe is involved in Comprehensive Project (CP) 1: Cosmic Structure Formation. Dylan Nelson's research focus is developing and analyzing theoretical (computational) models of galaxy formation and evolution, with an emphasis on cosmic gas. He is also a leader within the IllustrisTNG Project, and Co-PI of TNG50: next-generation large-volume cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations of galaxy and large-scale structure formation and of the TNG-Cluster simulation.
