(Dr.) Karolina Worf

Karolina Worf obtained her general university entrance qualification in a school specializing in psychology and social sciences, where she found out that her passion lies primarily in mathematics. Therefore, she decided to study Bioinformatics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM), which she successfully completed in 2016 with a Master’s degree. Here, she gained her first experience with algorithmic methods, programming, and machine learning methods.

Simultaneously she worked as a student research assistant in various interdisciplinary fields (computer science, biology, and bioinformatics). The practical experiences convinced her to continue working on complex biological questions as a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Computational Biology (ICB) at Helmholtz Zentrum München.

Karolina loves to work in a team, solve challenging tasks, foster scientific collaborations, and manage projects efficiently. Last year, she decided to focus more on her organizational and communication skills and thus started to work as a science manager at Helmholtz AI.

In her spare time, she volunteers to help the elderly and likes to bake. One of her goals is to read Le Monde’s 100 Books of the Century and to visit the all-new 7 Wonders of the World.
