I am deeply passionate about research to understand the physical phenomena that occur in soft materials and biological systems. My primary interests lie in molecular and cellular studies, where I utilize physics-based approaches and methods to solve problems in neuroscience. Additionally, I am intrigued by cutting-edge technologies like brain-machine interfaces and brain-inspired intelligence.
