Senior🎓
Top SchoolBoris Louis is a physicist-turned-microscopist with 8+ years building custom optical instruments and extracting quantitative insight from complex imaging data, currently an FWO Postdoctoral Research Fellow at KU Leuven. He has designed and built five microscopes from scratch, supervises PhD and Master students, and contributes open-source imaging tools that bridge experiment and analysis. His work blends multimodal and 3D microscopy, nanoparticle manipulation, and functional imaging of optoelectronic materials with AI-assisted image analysis to make experiments reproducible and decision-ready, not just visually striking. He also advises startups and industry on experimental strategy and technical feasibility, and has co-founded a sustainable materials startup—showing he applies lab-scale rigor to real-world product challenges. Frequently collaborating internationally (Osaka, Tokyo, Hokkaido), he pairs hands-on hardware skills with Matlab/Python programming to close the loop between custom instrumentation and purpose-built data pipelines.
