Welcome!
I am currently a Postdoc with Terry Hwa at the University of California, San Diego. My current research interests focus on the growth and dynamics of the gut microbiota and its interplay with the human host. Combining quantitative experiments with theoretical approaches I try to uncover the biological, chemical, and physical factors driving bacterial growth and thus microbiota composition in the large intestine. See this site for a short summary of my research interests.August 2016,
