Joachim Danmayr is a Software Developer at the LBI-NVPM, working on automated signal detection and quantification in microscopy images generated during single-EV characterisation and EV tracking experiments supporting the Nanovesicular Technologies Research Program Line. To enable automated object detection, segmentation, and colocalization, Joachim developed the open-source program EVAnalyzer. Originally created as an ImageJ plugin, it has since evolved into a standalone application. The software allows biologists to design image analysis pipelines for fluorescence and histological data, process multichannel images and videos, apply customized object filtering, train and deploy AI models, and manage large datasets. The program is continuously being further developed to support quantitative analysis of EVs in different biological systems, including cells, body fluids and whole organs.

He completed his engineering degree in Electronics and Technical Informatics in 2007 at the Higher Technical School of Steyr, Austria, and took lectures in physics, electronics as well as computer science at the Kepler University of Linz and the University of Hagen.  He mainly worked in the industry in the research and development of renewable energy systems, thereby acquiring expertise in signal processing, embedded software development, and the development of large-scale energy management solutions using mainly C++ programming.
