Top SchoolRichard Gildea is a Senior Scientific Software Engineer with 17 years' experience building and maintaining data analysis pipelines and core scientific software for crystallography and structural biology. He has a strong track record at national labs and major facilitiesācontributing key features to PHENIX, DIALS, xia2 and developing xia2.multiplex for multi-crystal symmetry analysis and merging. Comfortable moving between research and production, Richard has implemented novel algorithms (including multi-lattice indexing and shot-by-shot XFEL processing) and shipped robust tools used on MX beamlines. His background combines a Durham University PhD in chemistry with deep hands-on coding, enabling him to translate experimental needs into scalable software. Recently he has continued this blend of science and engineering in senior roles across industry and research organizations. Colleagues rely on him for turning complex diffraction challenges into dependable, reproducible pipelines.
