About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge in the group of Prof. Raymond Goldstein

I use microfluidics and microscopy along with the ideas from Soft  Matter Physics and Statistical Mechanics to answer questions at the interface of Physics and Biology. My research interests include microbial motility and ecology. In particular, I am fascinated by the ability of microbes to survive in vastly different environmental conditions.
