Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Previous position: PhD student at Bar-Ilan University.

From U of T Physics (UG) to U of T Physics (PG). Why change a thing?

Before beginning my graduate studies, I completed an undergraduate degree in Biophysics and Math at UofT and worked as a research assistant at Sunnybrook Research Institute in tomographic x-ray imaging for breast cancer screening.

Currently, my scientific interests lie in quantitative approaches to understanding and engineering biological systems. In my PhD thesis I use tools from theoretical physics, applied mathematics, and computation to uncover fundamental performance limits in molecular regulatory systems in biological cells. In collaboration with experimentalists, I aim to demonstrate these limitations in real biological cells and establish novel design principles for the construction of biological circuits.

I also have a strong interest in pedagogical research for quantitative biology and biophysics education, as well as in undergraduate teaching itself.

I am an undergraduate student in physics at the University of Toronto. I am passionate about computational and clinical research. In my spare time I like to write, swim and rock climb and I am on a quest to cook the perfect pasta.

Visiting Masters student. On loan from the university of Mainz.

In the course of my studies in physics I have developed a profound interest in biological problems. In particular, how the tools provided by theoretical and computational physics can be used to gain a deeper understanding of biological systems.

My previous research at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research focused on using statistical physics to develop a formalism to reweight dynamics across non-equilibrium conditions.
