Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRembrandt Bakker is a scientific programmer with 13 years of experience building web applications and data pipelines for large-scale neuroscience projects, notably across multiple subprojects of the EU Human Brain Project since 2013. He combines a PhD in Chemical Engineering with deep technical chops in JavaScript, PHP, Python and cluster computing to deliver interactive 3D brain visualizations, neuron morphology databases and automated MRI segmentation tools. His work spans research and production: maintaining the CoCoMac macaque connectivity portal, developing the Scalable Brain Atlas and creating pipelines to digitize and align experimental data for visualization and analysis. Comfortable bridging lab workflow and web engineering, he has repeatedly led tool-building efforts and community events (INCF workshops, local conference hosting) that make complex neuroinformatics accessible. Based in North Brabant, Netherlands, he brings rare domain depth—applying chemical engineering training to computational neuroanatomy—to solve data integration and visualization challenges.
