My background is highly interdisciplinary, with a BSc in chemistry, a MSc in the chemistry of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and a PhD in applied micro- and nanotechnology. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher heading two projects on light-controleld microrobots. During my research, I have been involved in the fabrication, surface modification and characterization of microstructures for applications in biosensing, medicine and the energy sector. I have experience with different research tools, such as cleanroom fabrication, 3D printing, cell culture, surface modification and characterization using SEM, AFM, XPS, FTIR, confocal microscopy, etc. I love working in interdisciplinary projects that allow me both to employ my skills and to develop new ones. I am very interested in presenting my work or research field to others, for example at conferences or by teaching, but also by giving informative presentations to people from outside the field.
