Research interests

I work on 3D bioprinting and developing organ-on-chip models towards more accurate microphysiological systems. 

Biography

Before starting my PhD, I worked for Generate:Biomedicines and as a research trainee at Harvard/Medical School/Brigham and Women's Hospital where I developed a new bioprinting technique. Prior, I was a research assistant at the institute for microsystems technology (IMTEK) in Freiburg, Germany, where I also did my Masters. My undergrad was in Physics Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences RheinMain. Alongside my PhD, I am passionate about politics and entrepreneurship, and I try to be active in roles that are tangential yet complementary to the skills I develop during my PhD
