Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeremy Metz is a research engineer and data science consultant based in Sweden with 12 years of experience applying scientific computing and computational image analysis to biophysics and biological imaging. Trained as a physical scientist with a PhD in quantum optics and an MSci in Physics, he blends theoretical modelling (including quantum systems) with practical software engineering in C++, Python, Matlab and web stacks. He has supported labs and industry as a freelancer and mentor, building custom image-processing pipelines across ImageJ/FIJI, OpenCV, scikit-image and deep learning frameworks. An active contributor to scikit-image, he has directly improved core algorithms like Li thresholding and convex hull handling, showing attention to numerical correctness and test coverage. At MAX IV Laboratory and previous academic roles he focused on AI-driven workflows for cell and molecular biology, bridging advanced theory and reproducible tooling.
