Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMikhail Kolmogorov is a tenure-track investigator at the National Cancer Institute with 13 years of experience building algorithms for computational genomics, specializing in genome assembly, long-read sequencing technologies, and comparative genomics. Trained as a bioinformatics PhD at UC San Diego and with postdoctoral experience at UCSC, he bridges rigorous academic research with practical tool development and production packaging. He maintains and actively develops key open-source assemblers Flye and Ragout, and has contributed build and packaging fixes to the widely used Bioconda ecosystem to ensure reproducible deployment of bioinformatics software. Based in Bethesda, he combines deep applied-math roots from ITMO with hands-on sequencing domain expertise, enabling robust algorithmic solutions that scale to real genomic datasets. Notably, his profile reflects both foundational research outputs and the often-overlooked operational work of keeping tools installable and reliable for the community.
