David Schnoerr

I joined the Theoretical Systems Biology Group at the Imperial College London as a postdoc with Michael Stumpf in autumn 2017. I previously worked as a postdoc at the University of Edinburgh where I also obtained my PhD in 2016 under the supervision of Ramon Grima and Guido Sanguinetti. I received my diploma in theoretical physics from the University of Heidelberg in 2013, where I wrote my thesis on Functional Renormalization Group methods in the group of Christof Wetterich.
