Associate Professor for Mathematical Biology
Using mathematics to better understand biological phenomena — from cytoskeletal dynamics to collective cell migration.
Background
I am a researcher working in the interdisciplinary field of Computational/Mathematical Biology. I have a double-degree in Mathematics and Molecular Biology and currently hold the position of Associate Professor for Mathematical Biology at the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna.
My academic journey →I believe that good mathematical models allow us to better understand biological phenomena. My work spans a range of scales — from individual proteins and cytoskeletal networks to collective behaviour of cells and tissues.
Learn about my research →I am passionate about teaching and have developed and held several applied mathematics courses.
More about teaching →I enjoy outreach and public engagement activities and like using art as a means to communicate scientific ideas.
