Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaurent Thomas is a multidisciplinary post-doc researcher and bioimage analyst with 9 years of experience building image-processing pipelines, microscope control software, and hardware interfaces for microscopy. After a PhD on automated image analysis for zebrafish, he transitioned to industry as a software engineer at ACQUIFER, developing C#, Java (Fiji) and Python tools for screening microscopes before joining EMBL Heidelberg’s MODIS data-science team to extend LabID for workflow documentation and archiving under the Horizon Europe OSCAR program. He blends wet-lab understanding from biology and chemistry with hands-on physics and engineering skills, enabling pragmatic solutions from microfluidic automation to drift-correction and ROI detection. Notably, he pairs developer-level coding with DIY hardware interfacing—making him as comfortable scripting laser control as designing image-analysis pipelines.
