Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Bland is a research software engineer based in London with nine years of interdisciplinary experience bridging life sciences and computational engineering. He holds a PhD in Biophysics and Cell Biology and has built machine-learning image-analysis tools, high-throughput ODE/PDE simulation pipelines on HPC, and bioinformatics/CRISPR workflows during doctoral and postdoctoral work at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute. Now at Imperial College London, he applies that blend of wet-lab insight and software engineering to make complex biological data reproducible and actionable. Tom has authored multiple peer-reviewed papers (including first-author studies), supervised student projects, and contributed open tooling and cloud notebooks that accelerate experimental design—skills that make him as comfortable scripting analysis pipelines as interpreting biological mechanism.
