After obtaining my Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering from Fachhochschule Aachen, Campus Jülich, I pursued a Master of Science in the same field, achieving both degrees with honors. My research interests include studying the effects of biomaterials on stem cell behavior. Currently, I am a scientific staff member at the Interdisciplinary Center for Clinical Research at RWTH Aachen University, working on my doctoral thesis focused on characterizing periodontal ligament stem cells for tissue engineering applications.
