Jun Prof Dr Alexey Gurevich
About
Alexey Gurevich studied software engineering at St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University (BSc 2010, summa cum laude) and St. Petersburg Academic University of the Russian Academy of Sciences (MSc 2012, summa cum laude). In 2011, in the Prof. Pavel Pevzner group at the Academic University, he started focussing on algorithmic bioinformatics. The group later relocated to St. Petersburg State University where Alexey obtained a Ph.D. in bioinformatics in 2018. He worked at St. Petersburg University until 2022 with short research visits to the Pevzner lab at the University of California San Diego (2015 and 2016) and to the Kohlbacher lab at the University of Tübingen (2019, DAAD Fellowship). In July 2022, Alexey joined HIPS as a Junior Professor leading the Human-Microbe Systems Bioinformatics group.
Alexey's research focuses on creating efficient algorithms and software for handling noisy omics data. He contributed to the state-of-the-art SPAdes and QUAST genome assembly and analysis software and multiple computational methods for natural product discovery. These works are widely used and cited by the research community as exemplified by the inclusion of Alexey Gurevich in the Web of Science list of Highly Cited Researchers 2023.
