About

I am a physicist with a PhD in experimental biophysics and a strong background in interdisciplinary research and data analysis. Through international collaborations and complex research projects, I have developed a structured and analytical approach to problem solving and a passion for clear scientific communication. For my future I am looking to apply my scientific expertise in medical and clinically relevant settings, where research and innovation can directly contribute to patient care and real-world impact.
