BIO

I am the Biological Image Analysis Group Leader at the BioFrontiers Institute, University of Colorado Boulder. I also run the Bioimaging Lab, a collaborative undergraduate research group, and teach the Quantitative Optical Imaging course at the Departments of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Biochemistry.

My work revolves around creating and utilizing software to extract quantitative data from microscopy datasets. I use advanced microscopes to film living cells over long periods of time. I also develop software to analyze the resulting data and visualize complex datasets.
