How do actin filaments encode their own size control?

Area of Study

My research focuses on how actin filaments encode their own size control and scale with cell geometry in budding yeast. Our approach combines quantitative microscopy, genetics, image processing, and computational modeling.  

Aside from research...

I enjoy coding, mathematical thinking, and uncovering patterns in data. Beyond academia, I’m someone who thrives on goal-setting and planning ahead. I value deep, meaningful conversations, enjoy playing chess, and can be very challenging to beat at table tennis. I'm also a former powerlifter and a cat lover - we share our home with two, Gizmo and Ez.
