Senior🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Righetto is a research associate and senior scientist at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, with 10 years of experience developing image-processing and machine learning methods for electron microscopy in structural biology. His background spans a PhD in Structural Biology and advanced training in electrical and computer engineering, enabling him to bridge algorithm development, HPC and practical microscopy workflows. He has driven computational projects from master’s research on pattern recognition to postdoctoral work at Helmholtz Pioneer Campus, focusing on noisy-image denoising, reconstruction and automation for protein and cellular EM data. Colleagues value his combination of rigorous research, hands-on tool building and teaching experience, and he brings an unusual personal mix of interests—music and lasagna—that reflect a creative, detail-oriented approach to problem solving.
