Arielle has been working at the Institute since August of 2016. She started as a systems design engineer on the Scientific Instrumentation and Process Engineering (SIPE) team supporting the coordination of hardware, software and optical quality for 2-photon calcium imaging platforms. In 2018 she started as a software engineer on SIPE writing workflows to coordinate automated data acquisition and developed hardware and 3rd party APIs for 2-photon calcium imaging, electrical physiology and mFISH platforms. In 2023, she joined the optical physiology team in Neural Dynamics where she builds infrastructure to help analyze images acquired on the 2-photon calcium imaging platforms.

Before this, Arielle earned her degrees in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Washington (UW). She also worked as a research engineer at the UW developing new ways to deliver medicines using nanofiber technologies.
