In my current role as a PhD candidate at ETH Zurich, I am leading the development of a bioreactor for skin regeneration, a cutting-edge medical device designed to enhance tissue engineering applications. My work involves engineering advanced biomaterials, such as hydrogels for cell encapsulation and skin patch formation. Beyond the technical aspects, I mentor and supervise students, guiding them through research projects, laboratory techniques, and experimental design.

During my internship at ETH Zurich’s Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory, I worked on the development of an innovative localized drug delivery system aimed at enhancing cardiac tissue regeneration. My role involved designing and testing biomaterial-based delivery mechanisms, optimizing their release properties to improve therapeutic outcomes. I also conducted biomechanical analyses on soft tissues, studying their mechanical behavior under different conditions to assess the interaction between biomaterials and biological structures. Beyond research, I provided teaching support, assisting in lectures and guiding students through laboratory experiments and data analysis. This experience strengthened my ability to communicate complex scientific concepts, work in a multidisciplinary environment, and manage research projects effectively.
