Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErick Moen is a multidisciplinary scientist-engineer and Principal R&D Imagineer at Disney Research with over a decade of research experience and nearly a decade in consulting, blending optics, biophysics, and machine learning to build production-grade tools for biological imaging. He led development of TissueNet and DeepCell infrastructure—human-in-the-loop annotation platforms, data versioning, and TensorFlow libraries—that helped deliver one of the largest biological image catalogs and cloud-deployed models at scale. His academic work includes inventing a nonlinear optical microscopy method to observe nanoscale membrane disruption in live cells and a Nature paper on deep learning for biological images that rapidly garnered high impact citations. Erick routinely bridges lab science and software engineering, mentoring diverse teams at Caltech and USC while shipping high-performance computing and visualization systems. He pairs rigorous PhD-level optics and electrophysics training with practical product delivery, having also designed electrical systems, AR/IoT apps, and immersive scientific computing platforms. Based in Los Angeles, he combines curiosity-driven invention with a knack for turning complex experimental workflows into reliable, scalable software.
