Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOlga Ridzel is a research scientist and software engineer with eight years of experience applying computational methods to surface science and digital rock analysis, currently a Guest Researcher at NIST in Gaithersburg. She blends experimental expertise in X-ray micro-CT and electron spectroscopy with production-quality software—shipping Python, MATLAB, C/C++ and LabVIEW tools, image processing pipelines in C#, and Angular-based front-ends. At Schlumberger she helped build the Digital Rock Cloud and a tomographic volume-rendering SPA that couples Flask/VTK backends with Angular UIs, demonstrating a rare full-stack fluency in scientific visualization. Her PhD-level background in technical physics and early work on Monte Carlo simulations and electron spectroscopy calculators underpin a strong quantitative approach to measurement-driven software. Colleagues describe her as someone who moves seamlessly between lab instrumentation, data analysis, and deployable web tools, often surfacing non-obvious links between experimental artifacts and algorithmic corrections.
