Academic interests
I am a Scientia fellow in Andreas Carlon's group. In collaboration with cell biologists of Harald Stenmark's group, we study the formation of so-called intraluminal vesicles in cellular organelles. I develop membrane models for this process that account for concomitant protein ad/desorption and cytosolic fluid flow.
Background
Before coming to Oslo, I studied the out-of-equilibrium behavior of electrolytes near charged surfaces, often in collaboration with experimentalists.
