Your scientific background/interests
I studied biotechnology and am especially interested in the purification of biological products. My master’s thesis focused on endonuclease treatments in downstream processing of virus-like particles.
Your role in the CAARE project
I’ll be focusing on bionanoparticle separation and purification using continuous flow ultracentrifugation, along with analytical characterization of particles and impurities.
A hobby or interest outside of science
I love reading, cooking, and visiting museums and art galleries. I travel as much as I can, and I’m always listening to music.
