Marko Tscherepanow received his diploma degree in computer science from Ilmenau Technical University, Germany, in 2003. During his studies, he worked as a student assistant in the Neuroinformatics and Cognitive Robotics Lab. Here, he investigated the incorporation of task-specific information into the processing of sensory data. In his diploma thesis, he compared various methods for anticipatory planning with respect to changing tasks and environments.

As a part of his studies, Marko Tscherepanow visited the Institute of Applied Sciences in Medicine, Salzburg (Austria), as a trainee from October 2000 to March 2001. Here, his work comprised the implementation of volume rendering techniques for three-dimensional ultrasound data as well as the development of user interfaces for the Laparoscopic Impulse Engine - a device for simulating laparoscopic surgical procedures.

In 2004, he joined the Applied Informatics group at Bielefeld University, Germany, where he was working towards his PhD. In December 2007, he finished his PhD thesis entitled "Image Analysis Methods for Location Proteomics". In his PhD thesis, he successfully examined and applied methods such as genetic algorithms, incremental and stable neural networks, enhanced morphological operators, and active contours to the analysis of microscope images showing protein distribution patterns in living cells.

At the moment, he investigates techniques which enable the development of memory systems for robots. Moreover, he's interested in neuroinformatics, self-organizing systems and computational intelligence, in general. His further research comprises image processing and analysis methods regarding different fields of application.

Marko Tscherepanow is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as well as of the IEEE's Computational Intelligence Society.
