Biography

Owen joined Janelia in August 2023 as a BioImage Data Analyst after completing his PhD in Physics at the University of Michigan. In his graduate school research, he examined how cells communicate information over large distances by studying the propagation and behavior of mitotic waves in Xenopus laevis egg extracts. Throughout his research career, Owen’s work touched on a diverse set of physical questions: from the mechanics of disordered spring networks to novel topological interactions of colloids in nematic liquid crystals. In his new role as part of Integrative Imaging at Janelia, Owen works collaboratively with researchers to develop new microscopy analysis pipelines for visualizing and characterizing complex biological phenomena.
