Previous Institution: University of Colorado Boulder
I'm originally from Germany. My undergraduate thesis at the University of Colorado Boulder focused on studying bacterial metabolism and voltage transients in drug tolerant E. coli. My M.S. thesis at New York University focused on elucidating the evolutionary mechanisms (stochastic and responsive) bacteria use to evade antibiotics. As an incoming PhD student I am interested in synthetic biology, immunotherapy, and the interrogation of heterogeneous biological systems.
