David P. Hoffman
Staff Optical Engineer @ 10x Genomics,
I’m a scientist and engineer with a proven track record of hardware and software development whose research has been featured on the cover of Science magazine. In graduate school at Berkeley I trained as a physical chemist and spectroscopist before diving into imaging and biology as a post-doc in Nobel Laureate Eric Betzig’s group. While I enjoy digging into the nuts and bolts of instrumentation, theory and code, I always see my work in the context of the big picture and strive to do the most useful thing most efficiently. I’m goal focused, data driven and led by curiosity.
