Michele Darrow
Post-Doctoral Research Associate on Cryo Soft X-ray Tomography Beamline
Michele's research background is in cryo-electron microscopy, image annotation techniques, and protein misfolding disorders. She is excited to use image annotation to answer interesting biological questions about Huntington's Disease. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, playing with her dogs (Jinx and Charm) and playing video games.
 

Imanol Luengo
Data Analysis Scientist in the Scientific Software Group
Imanol has just completed his PhD at the University of Nottingham where he determined the algorithms and did all of the programming behind SuRVoS Workbench. In his spare time, he enjoys travelling and playing board games and video games.
 

Mark Basham @basham_mark
Senior Software Scientist in the Data Analysis Group
Mark's research background is in 3D volume reconstruction and visualization, specifically on Big Data systems. He is an avid fan of open source software, contributing to many projects such as Savu and Dawn. In his spare time, he enjoys vollunteering his time through outreach activities such as working with the Lego Beamline also on twitter.
 

Matt Spink
Senior Support Scientist on Cryo Soft X-ray Beamline
Matt's background is in microscope support for electron microscopy techniques. More recently, he is involved in a project to determine cellular changes during Alzheimer's Disease. In his spare time, he enjoys bike rides and tennis.
 

Olly King @_OllyK
Data Analysis Scientist
Olly's research background is in biomaterials and protein chemical biology. He traded in life at the lab bench for the world of software development and is now working on extending SuRVoS - software that helps scientists extract information from 3D image data. When not doing this, you can find him running or out with a camera capturing images of his own.
 

Avery Pennington
Data Analysis Scientist - Machine Vision
Avery's research background is in bio-image analysis, in particular phenotyping root systems. She has worked as a machine learning engineer in the geospatial analytics industry. In addition to subjecting pixels to intense scrutiny she enjoys walking her dog on uneven terrain.

Win Tun
Postdoc research associate
Win's research background is in biology and image analysis, in particular placental and vascular system. She recently has finished her PhD at University of Auckland. In her spare time, she enjoys watching detective TV series.
