Summary
Dan Xie is a physicist and neuroscientist with over a decade of hands-on experience designing and building advanced optical microscopes and imaging pipelines, currently managing physics efforts at Veranome Biosystems in Dublin, CA. He combines a PhD in physical chemistry with postdoctoral expertise at UCSF, where he built adaptive light-sheet systems, developed Python/Arduino control modules, and designed end-to-end image processing and analysis for neural circuit studies. Equally comfortable with optics, hardware fabrication, and coding, he has a track record of turning complex geometrical optics simulations and custom hardware into reproducible imaging systems. Known for mentoring interns and enabling high-throughput calcium imaging, he brings analytical rigor and creative problem solving to translate physical-science foundations into practical neuroscience tools.
