Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Del Grosso is a research software consultant and group lead based in Stuttgart with a decade of experience building open-source tools, training scientists, and streamlining data workflows across neuroscience, molecular biology, and psychology. He combines hands-on Python and graphics programming expertise—developing real-time OpenGL systems for rodent VR and contributing to high-profile projects like suite2p for calcium imaging—with practical DevOps practices such as Dockerized pipelines and workflow managers. Nicholas has a strong electrophysiology background (EEG/MEG, in‑vitro) and a PhD in neuroscience, which he leverages to translate complex experimental needs into reproducible, documented software and training. Known for running large workshops and mentoring researchers, he also applies Lean and Agile coaching to accelerate lab productivity and knowledge sharing. An uncommon strength is his track record of shipping both low-level real-time code and user-facing web tools (e.g., job-scheduling apps) that reduce bottlenecks for dozens of researchers.
