Career

Dr. Katharina Huber got awarded a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Bielefeld, Bielefeld, Germany, in 1997. After finishing her PhD, she spent two years as a Marsden Postdoctoral fellow at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand, working on problems in Phylogenetics. In the beginning of 2000, she moved to Sundsvall, Sewden, where she joined the Department of Mathematics and Physics as a lecturer in Discrete Mathematics. After two years, she moved to Uppsala, Sweden, where she joined the Department of Biometry and Engineering, The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, and the Linnaeus Centre for Bioinformatics. In April 2003, she got awarded the title of a "docent" by Uppsala University. In the summer of 2004, she moved to the United Kingdom where she joined the School of Computing Sciences at UEA.
