The Hardware Illusion
Starting at the bench, I initially operated under the assumption that automation was defined by robotics. I was wrong. I quickly identified that the primary bottleneck is digital: highly skilled scientists losing significant bandwidth to manual data normalization and cross-format alignment.
Architecting Connectivity
Recognizing the limitations of standard enterprise software, I began architecting bespoke digital pipelines to bridge these gaps. I engineered custom connective tissue that links complex experimental designs directly with machine execution.
Strategic Optimization
The highest leverage in modern R&D does not necessarily come from procuring a new $100k instrument; it comes from optimizing the invisible data workflows between your existing assets.
As project lead for our HTS and data analysis, Lagan architected our automated digital infrastructure. She developed custom Python scripts to connect disparate hardware and software systems, significantly reducing manual interference and error rates. By implementing rigorous evaluation parameters and advanced visualization methods, she directly drove increases in our overall process yield.
