Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvan Ivanov is a Staff R&D Engineer and interdisciplinary scientist with 11 years of experience designing and interpreting biophysical measurements to advance basic science and human health. He built a multimodal single-molecule platform during his PhD—combining high-resolution DNA dynamics with fluorescence detection—and now designs polarized light microscopes for label-free cell and tissue imaging at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub. Trained in chemical engineering (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, M.S. and Ph.D. from Stanford), he blends rigorous quantitative modeling with hands-on instrument design and optics. Known for bridging molecular-scale assays and mesoscopic imaging, he focuses on methods that enable new discoveries rather than single-target solutions. Based in San Francisco, he thrives at the intersection of engineering, microscopy, and biology, often translating complex physical measurements into tools biologists can use.
