About my Research
I work at the interface of physics, materials science, and biology. My projects integrate instrumentation and hardware that are used in experimental physics in combination with techniques in molecular biology and custom data analysis software to investigate unique biophysical properties of bio-polymers, cells, and dynamic tissues.
Here, I showcase the variety of materials and phenomena that I have investigated.

How do cells regulate their energy metabolism during physically demanding mechanical processes such as exerting forces during cell migration? This project combines physics and tissue mechanics with biomarkers, image data analysis, and novel experimental design and multi-dimensional data interpretation to answer this question.
