About me
I am a (the first!) PhD student in the Göpfrich Group working on the bottom-up assembly and dynamic actuation of synthetic cells. Furthermore, I am a member of the excellence cluster “3D Matter Made to Order”. More specifically, I combine DNA nanotechnology and microfluidics to construct fully synthetic functional units from scratch. I am especially interested in the construction of dynamic systems that can react to external-stimuli. Before my work here, I studied physics at Heidelberg University and conducted my master thesis in the group of Prof. Joachim Spatz at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and Prof. Ulrich Keyser at Cambridge University.
