Summary
Anthony Santella is a Senior Research Scientist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Institute specializing in scientific image analysis, funded by the CZI Imaging Scientist Program. He holds a PhD in Computer Science with cognitive science from Rutgers and brings deep expertise in eye tracking, non-photorealistic rendering, image processing, and experimental design. Over nearly two decades in research roles he has blended algorithm and software development (primarily in Matlab and Java) with hands-on collaboration with biologists to deliver image-analysis pipelines and high-throughput phenotype quantitation. His background as a fine artist and interest in how cognition shapes visual displays inform pragmatic, human-centered solutions for automated visualization and comprehension. He has published in venues such as SIGGRAPH and CHI, and pairs theoretical insight with practical tooling for cell tracking and motion quantitation in molecular cytology. Based in New Jersey, he combines academic rigor with studio-trained visual sensibility to bridge perception research and biomedical image software.
