Overview

Hi, My name is Tim Harder and I am a Ph.D. Student in the Protein Structure Group of Thomas Hamelryck. The group is part of the Bioinformatics Center of the University of Copenhagen. I have a background in computer sciences, as I started learning application development at CSC Germany. I then switched to bioinformatics and graduated from the University of Applied Sciences in Bingen, Germany. Please find my contact details at the end of this page (down).

Research Interests

• Proteins Structure Prediction
• Protein Side Chain Sampling
• Simulating Proteins over time
• Machine Learning

Teaching

I have been involved in teaching in the following courses

• Linux and Python Programming Fall 08
• Linux and Python Programming Fall 09
• Linux and Python Programming Fall 10
