Who I am

Welcome to my homepage!

I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellow at Institute of Physics at University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. 

My research interests focus on droplet dynamics, interfacial flows, polymers, and thin films. I am dedicated to developing and applying advanced experimental techniques to tackle challenges at the interface of chemistry and physics.

Research interests
  • Droplet dynamics
  • Interfacial flows
  • Complex fluids
  • Polymers
