Natalie received her Masters in Computer Science from the University of St Andrews where she studied both machine learning and GOFAI techniques. Her dissertation investigated the use of massively parallel hardware in constraint solvers.
At the Franklin she is attempting to use defocussed probe electron ptychography to image large areas of biological samples at dose-limited resolution. Her efforts include developing new methods for improving data-acquisition and the development of novel reconstruction algorithms, with a focus on targeting high-performance compute clusters.
