Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIris Young is a postdoctoral researcher and scientific software developer with 11 years of experience at the intersection of structural biology and high-performance computing. Trained with a Ph.D. in chemistry from UC Berkeley, Iris has combined experimental expertise in XFEL crystallography and cryoEM with development of cctbx.xfel and exascale data pipelines to enable real-time feedback at next-generation light sources. Their work produced some of the first room-temperature and transient-state high-resolution structures of photosystem II and advanced methods for recovering conformational heterogeneity and detecting post-transcriptional modifications in maps. Based in San Francisco, Iris now applies this rare blend of hands-on structural biology and scalable software engineering to prepare kHz–MHz microscopy experiments for exascale processing. An understated strength is the ability to translate wet-lab challenges into robust computational tools that run at instrument speeds.
