Welcome

I am Alexander Zeilmann, a research project manager and Ph.D. researcher at Heidelberg University and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS). My work centers on connecting large-scale image analysis, artificial intelligence, and computing infrastructure to the needs of scientists in the life sciences. With over 20 years of programming experience and a decade in data analysis and AI, I have dedicated my career to transforming advanced technologies into robust, accessible systems that empower researchers, clinicians, and innovators — without requiring them to be experts in AI or high-performance computing.

My professional path bridges academia and industry. I have worked with a variety of companies, blending hands-on technical expertise with strategic project management. I am passionate about identifying new technologies, refining them into production-ready tools, and enabling others to use them effectively.

My current focus lies at the intersection of multidisciplinary collaboration, technical architecture, and the design of user-friendly products.
