Summary

My research lies at the intersection of soft matter physics and biomedical engineering, with a focus on understanding and controlling interfacial phenomena in soft, dynamic systems and applying these principles to develop biomedical devices. From elucidating the physical principles that govern droplet-substrate interactions to engineering organs-on-chips that mimic complex tissue microenvironments, my research advances both fundamental science and practical tools for translational medicine.
