I was born in Germany where I completed a Bachelors program in Biology in 2015, followed by a Masters program on “Cell and molecular biology” in 2018, both at the Friedrich-Alexander-University in Erlangen. For my Masters work I was awarded the “Fritz und Maria Hofmann-Preis”and the “Masterpreis of the Department Biology”, respectively.
In 2019, I started my doctoral studies at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen in the group of Prof. Dr. Vahid Sandoghdar. In my work, I focus on interferometric scattering-based particle tracking on living cells. In addition, I am also developing nanofluidic research tools to enable new avenues for single-cell investigations with advanced microscopy techniques.
