About me
I am a PhD student in the group of Prof. Dr. Göpfrich, where I’m aiming to explore the engineering of RNA- and DNA-based synthetic systems. I would like my research to be overall driven by the challenge of untangling the complexity of biological systems into constructing minimal, self-regulated synthetic nano machines that can mimic aspects of natural cell’s behaviour. When I’m not in the lab, I’m obsessed with installation of communication systems, printed calendars and nature photography.
