Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrayson Boyer is a research scientist and biochemist with nine years of experience applying statistical modeling, data mining, and thermodynamics to environmental and geochemical problems. At Arizona State University he leads the WORM project, building open-source tools and an online computing environment for Water-Organic-Rock-Microbe thermodynamic calculations that serve scientists, educators, and students. He is proficient in R and Python and has a track record of automating complex QC and data-cleanup pipelines—reducing tasks that took weeks to moments—and curating large scientific databases. His PhD in Biochemistry and hands-on work with lipid energetics, SLOP16 curation, and CHNOSZ give him deep domain expertise bridging lab science and reproducible computational analysis. Grayson also creates educational notebooks and workshops, making specialized thermodynamic tools accessible to broader audiences. Outside the lab he balances technical rigor with creative interests—he’s a tabletop RPG enthusiast—bringing curiosity and clear communication to collaborative research.
