Welcome to my webpage! I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London. As a computational physicist, my research interests lie in the multiscale modeling of physical systems.

Under the guidance of Dr. Thomas Ouldridge, I am currently working on oxDNA, a coarse grained DNA model to capture the kinetics and thermodynamics of DNA processes. 

Prior to joining Imperial College London, I completed my PhD cum laude at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. During my doctoral research, I focused on particle-based modeling of chemical reactions in microreactors and macroreactors.

Please feel free to explore my website to learn more about my research, publications, and other academic pursuits.
