Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrae Petersen is a Senior Systems Engineer with a PhD in Chemistry and nine years of experience bridging assay development, instrumentation, and scientific software. He designs and integrates end-to-end solutions that convert complex PCR, enzymatic, and single-cell assay outputs into secure, usable insights via data pipelines, machine vision, and cloud platforms. Comfortable in both bench and code, he applies physics-based modeling, computer vision, and ML to guide R&D decisions and accelerate timelines. His background in low-cost instrument design and analog/signal-processing work has repeatedly reduced system costs and computation times by orders of magnitude. Known for translating between scientists, engineers, and data teams, he uncovers non-obvious data streams and builds practical tools that de-risk experiments. Based in Portland, Maine, he thrives on tackling messy, real-world problems that require interdisciplinary creativity.
