About
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). I currently work in the Sustainable Materials Laboratory under the supervision of Prof. Tiffany Abitbol. My research focuses on the applications of cellulose-based materials, with a particular focus on self-assembly and additive manufacturing. I hold a PhD in Materials Science from EPFL where I developed a novel class of 3D-printable materials for biomedical applications, known as Double Network Granular Hydrogels (DNGHs). I have a strong background in soft matter processing and characterization, additive manufacturing, and engineered living materials.
