Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Walder is a Staff Scientist based in Boulder with nine years of industry experience building optical and high-plex proteomics assays that bridge biophysics, surface science, and biosensor design. With a PhD in Physics from UC Irvine and a track record from NIST to startups and scale-ups like OptiEnz, SomaLogic, and now Illumina, he combines rigorous experimental physics training with hands-on assay R&D. His work focuses on translating physical measurement principles into robust, high-throughput proteomic technologies, often tackling surface chemistry and optical detection challenges that improve sensitivity and multiplexing. Colleagues value his ability to move projects from proof-of-concept to product-relevant workflows, and he brings rare depth in both fundamental measurement science and practical assay development.
