Pavel Arkadevich Pevzner (
Genome Institute of Singapore scientific advisory board.[6]
Education
Pevzner received his Ph.D. in mathematics and physics from the
postdoctoral research
associate.
Career and research
Pevzner is interested in new approaches to teaching computational molecular biology at both undergraduate and graduate level,[7][8] serving as a founding instructor for the bioinformatics specialization on Coursera[9] and having written several books on bioinformatics and computational biology.[4][10][11][1]
In 1992, Pevzner took the position of associate professor at Pennsylvania State University.
In 1995, Pevzner moved back to the University of Southern California as a professor of mathematics, computer science, and molecular biology. Since 2000, he has been the Ronald R. Taylor Professor of Computer Science at the
NIH
Center for Computational Mass Spectrometry.
