Tampere University Faculty of Medicine and Health TechnologyBiography
Post doctoral research fellow, member of Prof. Minna Kellomäki's Laboratory of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, part of Academy of Finland's Center of Excellence in Body-on-Chip research. 2023-2024 funded by Tampere Institute for Advanced Studies Fellowship.
Hydrogel expert focusing on development of characterization methods for hydrogels and use of hydrogels in 3D cell culture application, such as disease modeling as well as clinical tissue engineering. Aiming for deeper understanding of hydrogel mechanics and cellular mechanotransduction (how cells sense their environment and how that affects cell behavior). I enjoy multidisciplinary research and working at the interface between materials engineering and biomedical applications. I've always been facinated by biology.
I'm open for collaboration suggestions within the field of biomaterials.
