I work on experimental biophysics with a focus on Quantum and Nonlinear Biophotonics.
My research lies at the interface of experimental optics, microbiology, and nanotechnology. In my lab, I am utilizing optical trapping to manipulate microorganisms, study light-matter interaction, develop new approaches for non-invasive imaging, engineer a new generation of biodegradable technology and biological interconnects, and study ocean microplastics.
