Biography
Research Summary
I am a CNRS scientist from the Laboratoire de Physique Statistique of the
Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, France, where I am interested in various
interactions of membranes and/or single molecules. During my sabbatical stay in
the laboratory of Prof. J. Rothman I am studying the thermo-mechanical impact of
SNAREpins on membranes by combining theoretical predictions and
micromanipulation experiments.
