About Me

I’m a postdoc at Harvard Medical School in the Ting Wu lab. In the lab, we work on understanding 3D genome architecture using wide-field or super-resolution microscopy and integrative modeling to understand how chromosomes share their space in the nucleus. I’m fascinated by how human homologs occupy space in the nucleus, so I am trying to improve imaging and image analysis methods that will allow us to probe homologous chromosomes.

Before my postdoc, I did a joined Ph.D. at the Max-Delbrueck Center in Berlin with Stephan Preibisch and at NYU with Sevinc Ercan. During my Ph.D., I studied dosage compensation in C. elegans using microscopy and image analysis methods.
