Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSeth Hinz is an instrumentation engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building control systems and custom hardware/software for scientific instruments, now working at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network in San Francisco. He blends mechanical prototyping, CNC machining and 3D printing with multithreaded C++ software and GTK-based microscope control, having bootstrapped single-molecule and multi-color laser platforms. Seth has accelerated lab workflows—designing jigs that cut part processing time dramatically and migrating large datasets into usable databases—while also developing realtime photon-processing algorithms and microfluidic devices. Comfortable across wet lab experiments and production engineering, he brings a rare mix of bench science intuition and systems-level engineering. Outside work he contributes to microscopy tools aimed at revealing hidden biology (zebrafish) and is a vocal advocate for social causes.
