Robert Haase

Dr. Robert Haase is a Lecturer and Training Coordinator at the Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (ScaDS.AI) under Leipzig University, with prior leadership roles at the DFG Cluster of Excellence 'Physics of Life' at TU Dresden. He specializes in Bioimage Analysis, GPU-Accelerated Image Processing, and Large Language Models (LLMs) for life sciences.

His research focuses on democratizing bioimage analysis through open-source tools like CLIJ, clesperanto, and bia-bob, aiming to bridge microscopy with data science. Recent projects explore LLM-driven code generation for image analysis and interactive workflow design in platforms like napari.

He leads initiatives such as the NFDI4BioImage consortium for research data management in Germany and GloBIAS, a global society for bioimage analysts. Funded by organizations including the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) and DFG, his work emphasizes reproducibility, open science, and interdisciplinary collaboration in bioimaging.

As an educator, he conducts training programs like "Large Language Models for Bioimage Analysis" and "Collaborative Working with Git", and contributes to workshops at institutions such as EMBO, Institut Pasteur, and ScaDS.AI Summer Schools.
