Senior Leadership
Science and engineering.
A shared direction.
Our leadership team brings together complementary specialties in experimental science, preservation systems, imaging, and precision engineering. Each program is led by specialists working closely with the teams developing and evaluating the technology.

Dr. Wei Wang
Chief Scientific Officer
Specialty
Cellular assay development & experimental design
Wei leads scientific program planning and experimental review. His background spans cellular assay development, sample-quality assessment, and the translation of research requirements into measurable instrument specifications. He works with the program leads to define validation criteria and evaluate the reproducibility of results.

Dr. Li Zhang
Director of Preservation Systems
Specialty
Sample preservation & environmental control
Li leads Project Stillwater, with a focus on controlled storage environments and sample stability. Her background combines preservation-method development with environmental monitoring and laboratory quality workflows. She oversees storage-condition studies, recovery testing after power interruptions, and maintenance requirements for preservation systems.

Dr. Jing Li
Director of Imaging & Analytics
Specialty
Automated microscopy & image analysis
Jing leads Project Continuum, developing workflows for repeatable image acquisition across long-running experiments. His background covers optical instrumentation, image processing, and research software. His team focuses on acquisition consistency, sample traceability, and the interpretation of changes observed over time.

Dr. David Williams
Director of Engineering
Specialty
Precision instrumentation & sensor integration
David leads engineering development for Project Relay and the integration of hardware across Rook’s research programs. His background includes embedded sensing, instrument verification, and laboratory automation. He focuses on dependable measurements, transport-condition monitoring, and practical systems that research teams can maintain and use consistently.
