Summary
Katayun Kamdin is a software engineer with 11 years of experience who blends experimental physics rigor with hands-on systems and software development, currently prototyping and characterizing x-ray CT systems at Berkeley Lab. She has built CT reconstruction platforms and low-level imaging software (Python, Cython, C++, CUDA), previously reducing complexity across C++/CUDA stacks while also designing hardware prototypes to spec. Her background as a physicist includes Monte Carlo simulation, detector calibration, and cryogenics from projects at Berkeley, SNO+, and LUX/LZ, giving her a rare end-to-end view of instrumentation, data, and algorithms. She is exploring deep learning approaches to improve CT reconstruction, applying research-grade statistical and simulation skills to practical imaging problems. Based in Berkeley, CA, she brings a combination of research-depth, production coding, and hardware design that accelerates moving novel imaging methods from prototype to deployable systems.
