Self-introduction

I joined iTHEMS in April 2024 as a research scientist in the framework of the "Mathematical Science and Medicine" initiative. My main research interest involves physics in the field of medical sciences. I have been working on clinically relevant research topics from the perspective of soft-matter physics, biophysics, and nonlinear physics, to try to understand the spatiotemporal patterns of cells and cellular tissues. Here at iTHEMS, I would like to extend my scientific horizons to understand the homeostasis of tissues and to develop novel modalities that can be extracted in clinical settings.
