Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHideo Otsuna is a Data Scientist II with over a decade of experience bridging computer science and biology to turn complex bio-images into quantitative, reproducible results. Based at HHMI Janelia, he leads EM-LM image processing and the VVDviewer visualization/segmentation projects, and previously co-developed FluoRender for 3D/4D rendering. His expertise spans 2D–4D image analysis, custom ImageJ plugins, novel local thresholding, automated registration/segmentation, and microscope hardware optimization, enabling high-throughput, large-data visualization and tracking. A PhD in neuroscience from Nagoya University, he pairs hands-on microscopy and wet-lab know-how with software design and GUI development, often inventing tailored algorithms for broken-slice restoration and brightness equalization. Colleagues rely on him for turning messy experimental imagery into robust, visualizable datasets that drive quantitative biological insight.
