About Me |
/about/ |
I am a HFSP Postdoctoral Fellow at Caltech in the lab of Victoria Orphan, where I study anaerobic methane metabolism in microbial consortia using a combination of theory and experiments.
I am a mathematician by training and received a Ph.D. from the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zurich in 2023 under the supervision of Michael Manhart, now at Rutgers University.
