Douglas Shepherd was born in Albuquerque, NM and went to the University of California Santa Barbara as a undergraduate where he studied physics. After a break from academia, he pursued his doctorate in single-molecule physics at Colorado State University under the direction of Profs. Alan Van Orden (Chemistry) and Martin Gelfand (Physics). He went onto a postdoctoral fellowship in the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) and Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Working with Drs. James Werner (CINT) and Brian Munsky (CNLS), he built new tools to measure and model gene regulation in pathogenic bacteria.
Shepherd directs the Quantitative Imaging and Inference (QI2) lab, which he formed at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus in 2013. In 2019, Shepherd and the qi2lab relocated to the Center for Biological Physics and Department of Physics at ASU. qi2lab seeks to understand how the laws of physics interact with the rules of life, using computational imaging and quantitative analysis tools.
Current projects are focused on the fluid dynamics of microswimmers, 3D spatial transcriptomics method development, and
The QI2 lab is seeking motivated postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students for theoretical or experimental work. If interested, please see the openings tab at our website and contact [email protected].
