Dresden, Saxony, Germany
Currently a post-doc at the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research in Dresden, I am working on developing bioelectronic soft materials to pave the way for next-generation biointegration of medical devices, and for bio-integrated neuromorphic compute units. My doctoral research was centered on the bottom-up meterials engineering of dynamic hydrogels for use as bioinks. By tuning the molecular parameters (kinetics, equilibria) of dynamic covalent linkages we were able to control bulk hydrogel properties. Furthermore, we achieved combinations of viscoelastic properties that provide control over a range of mechanobiological cues while retaining printability.

Pursued a research project focussing on the development and nanostructuring of biocompatible hydrogels for biomedical applications.
Masters internship focussing on the development of novel formulations for Polymer Wire Enamels with specific consideration of economic and environmental factors.
I completed the VILP, an extra-curricular global leadership program and internationalisation initiative designed to develop leadership potential, advance knowledge and global awareness as well as create opportunities for international experiences and networks.
My research project was the development, characterisation, optimisation and varation of solution processible methylammonium metal halide based perovskite solar cells.
This position was part time over the course of my studies and invovled helping and guiding first year chemistry students in their laboratory sessions.
