Background

I am currently a scientific officer in EMRS and I am involved in all aspects of electron microscopy, all the way up from sample processing to image analysis. I am also the resident bioimage analyst in the EM unit and I'm also studying for a PhD part time in this field. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions on biological image analysis or 3D reconstruction of SBF-SEM data.

Member of NUBI and the Innovation methodology and application theme.
