My research focuses on the mechanical measurements of cells, with a special emphasis on high-throughput cell viscoelasticity measurements. I use and develop advanced microfluidic techniques and analysis tools to unravel the time-dependent effects of biomaterial deformation. By uncovering these intricate details, I aim to identify new distinctions between cell types and reveal correlations between cell mechanics and diseases, paving the way for breakthroughs in medical science and our understanding of cellular behavior

I studied physics in my Bachelor and Master with an emphasis on biological physics at the Technische Universität Dresden from 2011-2017. After that, I started my PhD in the lab of Jochen Guck and relocated to the MPL in 2019, where I finished my PhD in 2024. Currently, I am employed as a Postdoc at MPL.
