Karsten Siller

Group Leader

I am an Associate Professor of Data Science at the University of Virginia. Originally from Germany, I studied Biology at the University of Tübingen and conducted my graduate research in developmental neurobiology at the University of Oregon. After a postdoctoral position at UC Berkeley and Stanford University, I spent a brief stint in industry before joining UVA in 2013 as an Assistant Professor of Biology.

Before joining the School of Data Science, I served as Associate Director for Research Computing User Services, where I led a team of computational scientists and oversaw technical support, training, research collaborations, and community outreach.

Outside of work, I enjoy trail running and camping with family and friends.
