Senior🎓
Top SchoolKimberly Meechan is a Research Software Engineer at UCL ARC with nine years' experience building open source tools and pipelines for image analysis and correlative microscopy. Her background spans academic research roles at EMBL, the British Museum and Cambridge, where she combined light, electron and X‑ray imaging to bridge microscopy modalities and make datasets accessible to researchers and the public. She teaches and trains regularly—running Software Carpentry and Python courses—and focuses on making tools easy to use for non-specialists. Kimberly pairs hands‑on development with domain expertise in volume EM acquisition and connectomics, and she has a PhD in Biosciences from Heidelberg/EMBL. An avid science communicator, she seeks to broaden participation in coding through outreach as well as reproducible, well-documented software.
