Hi, welcome!
My first “real” job was as a Pfizer Global Engineering intern at Andover MA! I think the engineering culture at Pfizer was really admirable and I learned a lot there that I still use today.
I’d be happy to help you get started using PyHamilton and PyLabRobot, and would also be really interested in learning about the tools that you’ve created. Definitely feel free to post links to any Github repos.
Very cool! Our group Mass Spec and Biophysical Characterization (MSBC) has groups in Andover and STL where I am located. I have definitely never had a dull day at Pfizer and am excited everyday I start working. Tons to learn!
I’ve posted the link to my repo in General. Thanks for greeting me with open arms!
I’ll start bringing questions to the pylabrobot forum once I am more familiar.
Hi Bradley,
I was a protein mass spec research scientist with lots of automation side projects. Now I provide software support through my company. I write C# applications for data analysis, report generation, and equipment methods/worklists. But I also have Python and Java projects.
If you want help or could use my feedback, you can reach me at 860-919-3493 or Kristruncali@resolvedatascience.com.

Hello everyone,
My name is Connor Sharps. I’m an automation associate scientist at OXGENE, based in Oxford, UK.
I got into automation by teaching myself some Python a few years back, and now I work with Hamilton STARs, use a bit of Python and do some 3D printing. I’m glad we have a place to converse and seek advice, and I’m very impressed the app specialists themselves reply to us on here! I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen in the automation-sphere in the coming years! Happy coding everyone 
I’m 100% sure you have never been asked this…
Do you code in C# as well? 
I’ll see myself out…
You’re actually the first person! I’m also a great musician 
Hello!
I’m Daniel Stugan, a Product Manager at HighRes Biosolutions. I am the product manager for Solution, the software that runs our Prime liquid handler.
I’ve worked mainly in uHTS labs but have been with HighRes for the past 9 years.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about HRB or Prime!
Cheers!
Hi all,
my name’s Florian. Working in and with automation for 10+ years. Mainly focusing on Hamilton for about 6 years.
Working in veterinary diagnostics my focus is on nucleic acid purification, pcr setup, NGS and ELISA.
You can learn more about me here: The Nerd Who Loves Automation! - YouTube
I love tinkering and innovating with the robots to generate the most value for the teams using them.
Hello all,
I am Kinston. I work for Micron Technology as a lab engineer. My job includes running instruments and analysis while making automation and data science models for it. I mainly use Python, sometimes MATLAB or C#/C++ if needed.

Hi everyone!
My name is Ashleen and I am getting my feet wet when working with Automation. I have experience with Hamilton and Bravo, but the latter holds a special place in my heart. I usually utilize automation for sample preparation and NGS workflows. I’m hoping to continue my pursuit into getting more comfortable and proficient with these systems.
Good morning!
My name is Jaroslaw and I have been in the automation business for over 3 years.
Currently, I’m working for Eppendorf so I’d love to meet epMotion users here!

Hi Folks,
I am Roger Northwood. I have been in life science automation for about 32 years. Starting at ICI/Zeneca/AstraZeneca implementing systems from high throughput screening, compound management all the way through secondary screening to pharmaceutical development. I have dabbled in sales (LIMS systems), Automation for FMCG research at Unilever. Large scale hive robotics at Amazon, Lab automation manufacture, installation, service and support at PAA. I am currently at Cyprotex at Alderley Park implementing new ways of working and Robotic systems.
Hello all,
I’m Robert Keyser, I’ve been in lab automation for 18 years - at a CRO, Dendreon, Amgen, Calico, and now a startup Septerna. I’ve used all kinds of liquid handlers and robots, designed and built a lot of devices, and written a lot of code. My focus now is getting all aspects of the lab workflows (hardware, software, process, and data) integrated together.
I’m quite interested in trying out the PyHamilton library. Thanks a lot to the developers, and to the creators of this forum - it’s nice to see the community of lab automation folks sharing knowledge.
Hi, welcome!
I’m happy to help if you have any questions about PyHamilton
Hi everyone, my name is Haren.
I work for Tecan as the UK Application Team Leader. I have been working with various liquid handlers and robot arms for over 15 years, from all the major vendors to bespoke builds within early stage research Pharma and BioPharma. Mainly tasked with translating manual workflows to automation workflows for small to large platforms.
Look forward to learn of other people.
Welcome, love the videos on LinkedIn!
Thanks. Wish I could share that actual Fluents in action but a lot of the examples are on customer instruments, so often cannot share of film in their labs.
Hi Automation Friends!
I’m Meghan Ferzoco, based in the Boston area, and although I’ve been following the group for a while, I haven’t been super active. I currently work at Opentrons, trying to democratize automation for all. I think every lab should have a robot and am a science nerd at heart!
Feel free to connect on LinkedIn
Looking forward to talking (and learning) more about automation!
Hi all,
I’ve been lurking in these forums for a while now but decided it was time to introduce myself. I’m Samuel, I’m an Automation Engineer at CRISPR Therapeutics in Boston. I work primarily on automating NGS preps and writing python scripts to help with data processing, but have been expanding my reach into other functions.
Liquid handler experience includes Hamilton STAR, Formulatrix Mantis, and Cytena C. Wash (as well as building out the internal integration for all of them haha). SiLA has been an extremely helpful framework in this regard, even if Hamilton doesn’t officially support it. Primarily develop using Python, and have been learning a lot about Benchling lately as well.
I’ve been entirely self-taught in this field and love spaces like this that making that learning experience easier!
Hello,
I am a clinical laboratory scientist at the University of Washington molecular microbiology lab. Our go-to liquid handler for PCR is the Biomek NXp with a highly customized method, built by a very talented in-house FAS (basically… before he left for an actual automation gig/pay). However we have received word that in the coming years (2025) the Biomek NXp will no longer be supported. We have decided we are going to convert to Hamilton products. Problem is, after our tech left… we basically have an automation team with little to no experience in actual automation. I’m here to grasp some of the basic concepts of Venus software and learn what I can to help when field specialists show up. Eventually it would be nice to program/validate our own methods in the future.
Till then,
Cheers
