About me
I am broadly fascinated by the physics of soft matter and how things work or could be created in a more functional way. As a small child I did handicrafts every day and each thing I created had to have an extra functionality. I got attracted to the biophysical engineering by DNA nanotechnology and then I joined Kerstin’s group to create GUVs with cDICE, hopefully to help creating a functional mimicry of a cell.
