ABOUT ME
Previously I worked as a PhD student working with Lisa Manning, Cristina Marchetti and Jennifer Schwarz in Soft Matter Department of Syracuse University. I worked on problems related to segregation and fluidisation in confluent tissues. More specifically, we discovered that equilibrium mechanisms that can effectively segregate molecular mixtures, may fail to do so in space-filling confluent systems like that of biological tissues. Instead differential energy barriers lead to a small-scale but robust demixing spanning over a couple of cell diameters.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) working with Hannezo group. I use three-dimensional computational tools to model the mechanics behind stem cell fate determination.
