Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlan Reed is a Biophysicist with 11 years of cross-disciplinary experience, currently consulting in TTP plc’s Life Sciences division on projects that blend biology, engineering and data analysis. He holds a PhD from the University of Warwick where he developed microfluidic cell traps, time-lapse microscopy and Python image-analysis pipelines to enable single-cell measurements in yeast populations. Prior to his doctorate he trained as a physicist at Oxford and spent two years at Cambridge Consultants writing embedded C, designing PCBs and prototyping FPGA and Linux solutions. He maintains an active maker mindset—winning second place in an Element14 competition for a custom car window controller and building a composite video peripheral for the Raspberry Pi Pico—bringing hardware-first thinking to biological measurement problems. Comfortable moving between wet-lab techniques and embedded/software development, he excels at turning experimental challenges into robust, instrumented workflows. Based in South Cambridgeshire, he combines rigorous academic training with hands-on engineering and a knack for practical, reproducible solutions.
