Research Background and Interests

My research background is in biophysics and cell biology, with a focus on super-resolution imaging and expansion microscopy to study cellular and tissue architecture. My research interests center on applying advanced microscopy and quantitative analysis to investigate subcellular organization in disease-related contexts

Work in the Bewersdorf Lab

In the Bewersdorf Lab, I work on expansion microscopy and super-resolution imaging to study cellular and tissue architecture, particularly in lung tissue. My research integrates optimized labeling, quantitative segmentation, and AI-based analysis to resolve and analyze subcellular structures at nanoscale resolution.

Outside the lab

Outside of work, I enjoy journaling and making planners, and I love collecting beautiful stationery and notebooks. I’m also a big fan of playing different versions of Plants vs. Zombies. In my downtime, my favorite thing is relaxing and sleeping with my two Bengal cats.
