I am a Senior Software Engineer on the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Imaging, Science team.
Research: computational methods in the study of biological and physical processes
Context: scientific computing, artificial life, and computational/theoretical biology
Tools: image analysis, machine learning, functional programming, and simulation
My work has included:
- design and development of, sciview, a modern 3D visualization tool for scientific image analysis (Guenther and Harrington, 2020)
- 3D whole organism image segmentation of zebrafish vascular development (Daetwyler et al, 2019)
- machine learning with differentiable gene-regulatory networks (Wilson et al, 2018)
- predictive computational modeling of cellular mechanisms of vascular development (Costa et al, 2016)
- simulation-driven design and experimental validation of microdroplet-based chemical computing elements (Wang et al, 2016)
