Dr. Oliver King

Senior Research Software Engineer

Oliver completed his DPhil in Materials Science at the University of Oxford. He then spent a number of years undertaking lab-based research with the aim of developing early-stage drugs targeting enzymes involved in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression.

Since swapping his pipette for a keyboard, he has spent time working at the Diamond Light Source synchrotron facility, where he contributed to tools such as volume-segmantics and SuRVoS2 that use machine learning to aid analysis of 3D imaging data. In addition, he has also created deep learning tools for image classification and object detection to automate the analysis of protein crystallisation trials and has worked on projects that incorporate the work of citizen scientists to annotate large microscopy datasets.
