Summary
Joost De Folter is a scientific researcher and research software engineer with nine years of experience applying modelling, machine learning and visualization to real-world biomedical and operational research problems. He has led technical development at an AI start-up, driven novel methodology at NICE, and now contributes to NL-BioImaging and the Francis Crick Institute building automated image-analysis frameworks and collaborative Data/ML/AI solutions. Trained as a PhD in Bioengineering with dual bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Applied Physics, he combines deep domain knowledge with hands-on software engineering across the full research lifecycle—from data exploration to publication. He is passionate about open, transparent science and uses visualization not just for insight but to communicate social and educational impacts, reflecting a consistent focus on community benefit. Unusually for someone grounded in research, he also maintains practical Android development experience, bridging academic rigor and applied product development.
