Professional Profile

I am a postdoctoral associate at the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics. I received my PhD in the field of topological condensed matter from the University of Zurich. Since moving to Rice University, I have applied the methods that I learned during my PhD to study robust emergent behavior in soft and biological matter. In my free time, I like biking and reading. I also record a podcast about scientific discoveries and how they changed our world.
