Pearu Peterson

I am a Senior Researcher in the Laboratory of Systems Biology.

SHORT CV

I have defended by PhD in 2001 (Institute of Cybernetics at Tallinn University of Technology). After continuing my research in the Institute of Cybernetics (2002), I was a post-doctoral fellow at University of Twente, The Netherlands (2001-2002). After continuing my research in the Institute of Cybernetics (2002-2007), I was a Scientific Researcher at Simula Research Laboratory, Norway (2007-2008). I joined the team of Laboratory of Systems Biology in 2008.

I have background in mathematics (soliton theory), physics (water waves) and scientific computing. Currently my research questions come from biophysics (heart energetics and mechanics at cell level) and technical physics (confocal and wide-field microscopy).
