Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Dempster is an Honorary Research Fellow and software developer with over 25 years of experience building acquisition and analysis tools for electrophysiology and fluorescence imaging. He is the creator of the open-source Strathclyde Electrophysiology Software package, widely used in academic labs worldwide, and author of two textbooks on computational methods for physiological signal analysis. His work spans hands-on instrument integration with high-sensitivity cameras and multiphoton microscopes through to simulation-driven pharmacology, where he has produced detailed teaching and research models of animal cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems. Combining a PhD in Physiology & Pharmacology with decades in academia and industry, he translates experimental needs into robust, reusable software that reduces reliance on costly or ethically challenging in vivo studies. Notably, his long-term commitment to open distribution and pedagogical simulation has led to international adoption of his tools and simulation CDs for teaching.
