SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am highly interested in breaking down living systems to their molecular mechanisms, which inspired me to study the basic principles during my undergraduate studies in biochemistry. A wide range of research questions have sparked my curiosity. Particularly, using biophysical methods to understand processes such as neurotransmission at the molecular level highly fascinates me and strengthened my ambition to further focus on fundamental research in this field. Through this program, I hope to acquire a broad set of skills in order to become a valuable scientist.
