(my name is transcribed as Häussler, Haussler or Haeussler
depending on country, codepage or computer), see a-Umlaut

I am a post doctoral researcher in the lab of Prof. David Haussler (not related) 
at UC Santa Cruz, working on text mining and genome annotation. 

I currently work on genocoding the literature, using text indexing/text mining to better link genomes to academic papers.

quick CV: After M.Sc. degrees in 2005 in computer science and business from Universitaet Potsdam (Berlin, Germany), 
I obtained a PhD in the lab of Jean-Stephane Joly at the CNRS Gif-sur-Yvette, Paris, France 
on the neuronal development of C.  intestinalis in 2009. After that I completed a short
postdoc on genomics and text mining in the lab of Casey Bergman at the University of Manchester, England. 
In 2011 I moved to UC Santa Cruz.
Software
The Chordator (aka Cionator): Whole-genome searches for short motifs in conserved regions
Max's C. intestinalis Genome Browser, using the UCSC Genome Browser software, added lots of annotations
Various web scripts used for my PhD (in-situ annotation interface, primer search)
Text2Genome.org, the original sequence-mining website
Contemplate-HMM, extended HMM originally by Thomas Down. Finds enhancers based on insertion/deletion-structure of the alignment (no motifs).
PubTools, a set of tools to convert/process and compare data extracted from scientific articles, my first project at UCSC

Reviewed articles for: Bioinformatics, Plos Comp Biol, Nucleic Acids Research, Current Genomics, Genome Biol and Evol.
