I completed my undergraduate studies in soft matter physics, focusing on the compaction and morphology of elastoplastic wires confined within spherical cavities. I then pursued my PhD in experimental physics at Saarland University, where I studied the motility of bacterial strains with varying numbers of flagella at both individual and collective levels. This encounter captivated me with how the intricate complexity of biological systems and the elegance of nature design can bridge disciplines using various tools from physics and mathematics.
After completing my PhD, I desired to immerse myself in a more biologically oriented research environment. Following a brief transitional postdoctoral position at the University of Luxembourg, I embarked on a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institut Jacques Monod. My research there concentrated on the viscoelastic properties of the cytoplasm in sea urchin embryos, investigating how cytoplasmic composition and cell geometry impact these properties at different scales, leading to significant implications in cell shape sensing and division.
I am currently a research engineer specializing in image and data analysis within the Cell Death and Epithelial Homeostasis group.
