Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Yamauchi is a PHRT Transition Postdoctoral Fellow at ETH Zürich with 11 years of experience applying deep learning and image processing to digital pathology and fluorescence microscopy. He builds and scales bioimage analysis pipelines for high-performance clusters, teaches workshops and lectures, and serves as a long-standing core developer and steering council member of the napari open-source imaging project. His background blends a PhD in bioengineering with hands-on engineering roles—from inventing single-cell assays in academia to leading in situ transcriptomics platform development at CZ Biohub—giving him rare fluency across optics, microfluidics, and computational imaging. Based in Basel, he combines production-grade software engineering with open science advocacy, often contributing infrastructure and tooling that enable others to analyze large biological images at scale.
