Postdoctoral Researcher at UCL
City of London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElijah Shelton is a physicist-turned-engineer and postdoctoral researcher with eight years of experience probing how physical forces shape living systems, from zebrafish morphogenesis to neuronal organoids. He developed and deployed in situ droplet-based force sensors during his PhD at UC Santa Barbara—combining experimental design, live confocal imaging, and custom data-analysis tools to quantify tissue-level stresses. At LMU Munich he adapted magnetic droplets as mechanobiology tools for organoid systems and now continues mechanobiology research at UCL in London. Comfortable across mechanical design, microfluidics, microscopy, and scientific programming, Elijah bridges quantitative engineering and biological insight to create novel experimental platforms. A persistent tinkerer and educator, he has also run outreach programs and contributed to lab-scale translational technologies for biocharacterization.
