About
I studied physics at the LMU in Munich and, after briefly dabbling in astrophysics, obtained my PhD in computational biology and biophysics from EPFL in Lausanne, studying active transport processes in biomolecular condensates in the group of Paolo De Los Rios. Now, I am very excited to work on size regulation of the shoot apical meristem in the Jönsson group.
Research
I provide modelling to help elucidate the gene regulatory network behind shoot apical meristem size regulation.
