About

I am passionate and dedicated to advancing medical science through innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. My research focuses on developing reliable point-of-care diagnostic devices and investigating disease mechanisms—how diseases develop and progress in biological systems.

I am especially interested in the role of physical forces in biology, exploring active matter flows, mechanobiology, and biophysics. My multidisciplinary research strategy integrates experiments, simulations, and theoretical models to uncover how mechanical cues shape life at the cellular and tissue levels.

Driven by curiosity and a passion for creative problem-solving, I enjoy mentoring and collaborating with motivated students and researchers from diverse backgrounds. I look forward to partnering with scientists who share my enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of science and medicine. Having experienced the challenges faced by students, I bring a compassionate, human-centered approach to supporting their growth.

Beyond research, I take pleasure in documenting the beauty and order I encounter in my travels. I believe that together, we can make meaningful contributions to science, medicine, and our understanding of the world.
