Projects and Research Interests
Currently, I’m working as a PhD student in the field of theoretical biophysics in the group of Prof. Erwin Frey. My research focuses mainly on non-equilibrium processes in cell-biology.
On a biological level, this includes:
- Microtubule regulation by associated proteins
- Intracellular transport on microtubules
- Biomolecular mechanisms employed by molecular motors
- Aggregation processes related to Z-ring formation in bacterial cells
- Polymerization and depolymerization processes of biofilaments
On a physical level, my research projects deal with:
- Exclusion processes and driven diffusive systems
- Analytic methods for non-equilibrium systems
- Non-equilibrium phase transitions
- Collective systems of self-propelled particles
