Hello,
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Laboratory for Bone Biomechanics, ETH Zürich.
My research interests include Image analysis, Data science and Machine Learning and their applications to investigate multiscale mechanobiology.
During my Doctoral studies, I developed Spatial µProBe, a correlative multimodal imaging approach for spatial profiling of biological micro-environments. By combining spatial transcriptomics, time-lapsed in vivo micro-Computed Tomography and micro-finite element analysis, this tool enables characterising the local mechanical in vivo environment of musculoskeletal cells with high resolution and throughput.
My caffeine comes from music, usually Progressive House.
I value being consistent, which has shaped some of my core principles: commitment, reliability, perseverance. Eager to take on new challenges, I believe adversity stimulates growth.
As hobbies, I like to run and play tennis, photography and learn new languages.
