About Me
Trained as a mathematician, I am interested in translating scientific intuition into mathematical models
and computational methods for the analysis of biological systems. My research focuses on spatial transcriptomics,
where I develop and apply mathematical and computational approaches to investigate biological organization,
from subcellular structure to cellular interactions, tissue architecture, and the function of higher-order systems.
