Research Interests
Biophysics
My primary research focus lies in Biophysics, where I delve into the physical principles governing biological systems. This includes investigating the mechanics of biomolecules, the dynamics of cellular processes, and the physical basis of biological function. I utilize quantitative approaches and advanced experimental techniques to understand how physical forces and properties dictate biological outcomes, particularly in the context of protein-RNA interactions and phase separation.
