Including Q&A session

 

 

I am an expert in bioimage analysis and advanced microscopy. I have over a decade of experience in advancing the adoption of bioimage analaysis tools and methods within the Centre for Dynamic Imaging (CDI) at WEHI. In 2021 I established, along with two other analysts, the Bioimage Analysis Core, the first dedicated core of its type in Australia to further expand the capabilities of microscopy research at WEHI and across the precinct.

 

I co-founded the Australian Bioimage Analysts Society (AusBIAS), have collaborated with software engineers (DiUS) and cloud compute partners (AWS), and have driven the deployment of virtual compute resources to allow researchers at WEHI to visualise and analyse massive imaging datasets without needing any specialised equipment of their own. 

 

I have also collaborated extensively with microscope designers at various institutes by producing CGI visual abstracts that promote their science and make difficult physical concepts easier to understand.

 

 

All welcome!
