Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Nørrelykke is an executive director and physicist who builds and leads scientific infrastructure teams at the intersection of imaging, data analysis, and quantitative modeling. With 11 years of experience spanning ETH Zürich, Harvard Medical School, and now EPFL, he combines hands-on expertise in optics, numerical simulation, and stochastic differential equations with operational leadership of image-analysis units and collaboratories. He has a track record of translating complex microscopy and high-content screening data into actionable biological insights through bespoke algorithms, time-series analysis, and mathematical modeling. His background in single-molecule biophysics and precision optical calibration informs a pragmatic approach to experimental design and reproducible computational workflows. Based in Boston with roots in Switzerland and training from Copenhagen, Oxford, Brandeis and Aarhus, he bridges international academic cultures to scale research services and training. Colleagues rely on him not just for technical depth but for turning specialized methods into shared, production-ready infrastructure.
