Making Research Infrastructure Running Smoothly...

I am a multi-disciplinary scientist and generalist with 10+ years of experience in leading research programs, managing a team and mentoring young academics, guiding them to make the right choices. My professional interests are as broad as my skills. I have been doing technical development in light microscopy, optomechanics, optical manipulation, vision. I also speak the language of the Life Sciences. I worked on the biophysics of the cytoskeleton, cell division, and the mechanics of embryo development. In the past, I have been heading a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, physicists, and biologists that seeks solutions to technical challenges and basic research questions. We have been developing dedicated microscopy, micromechanical and microfluidics instruments, and image processing pipelines to address basic questions in developmental biology. After leaving fundamental research in academia in 2023, I have changed gear and focus on research service, operations, tool development and instrument engineering using all my expertise and experience.
