Tomas Perez-Acle

(Tomás O. Pérez Acle) I'm a Computational Biologist, born on September 9, 1970 in Santiago de Chile. Former Director of the Centre for Bioinformatics CBUC  since its formation in 2002, he is now affiliated to the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) at Universidad de Chile. At the CMM, Tomas is the Head of the Computational Biology Lab (DLab).

Graduated as Biologist from the Universidad de Concepcion (Chile), in 1992, I received my Ph. D. on Biotechnology in 2007 at the Universidad Andres Bello (Chile).

My scientific interests are related with the use of High Performance Computing techniques to model complex biological phenomena.

Other scientific interests include Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics, Nanotechnology, Astronomy and Astrophysics and Chaos.

I’m a Rugby player (I’m currently playing at “Cóndores de Manquehue” number 4, second row) but I use to play volleyball for a long time (as middle blocker or central line).

I’m also Black Belt in Tae Kwon-do (WTF), former student of Master Humberto Norambuena.

Philosophically speaking, I consider myself as a contructivist and secular person.
