About

I’m a postdoctoral researcher working on soft physics, focusing on the mechanics of soft condensed matter. Find my bio, work, and research interests here. Want to get in touch? Don’t hesitate to shoot me an e-mail. Looking forward to hearing from you.

WhatAs a researcher working in soft physics, I get to work with smart and unusual materials. From mechanical computers to shape-morphing structures, their strange behaviour comes from their internal architecture. Big fan of soft condensed matter, topology, geometry, mechanics, and developing intuitive models for new matter.
