Biographie

I am a NCCR WINS Fellow in SuNMIL (Supramolecular Nano-Materials and Interfaces Laboratory). My overarching scientific goals is to draw inspiration from natural materials to establish design principles and methodologies to develop complex, hierarchically ordered stimuli-responsive materials with desirable properties.
Previously, I was a postdoc at Pacific Northwest National Lab (US Department of Energy), Washington, in the Physical and Computational Science Division.
In my academic career thus far, I've been deeply intrigued by the relentless pursuit of innovation and methodology in problem-solving, alongside the myriad challenges inherent in executing new ideas within academia.
As I endeavor to carve out my niche in academia through my scientific expertise, my aspiration extends beyond individual success. I aim to contribute to the cultivation of an inclusive and supportive environment for young scientists and academics, one that fosters innovation, sustainability, and addresses the career obstacles and challenges we encounter.
