Position: PhD Student
Master Degree: Physics, University of Leipzig, Germany
Hi! My research is focused on light-activated active matter, where I am investigating the emergence of new collective behaviour using optical tweezers and critical mixtures. I am working interdisciplinary with scientists in photonics, cell-biology and micro- and nanofabrication.
