ABOUT ME
I'm a biophysicist working in Dan Needleman's Lab at Harvard University, where I use quantitative microscopy to study meiotic and mitotic spindles -- the sub-cellular structures that are responsible for organizing and segregating chromosomes during cell division. Before that, during my PhD at the Center for Soft Matter Research at New York University, I used colloidal particles as an experimental model system to study various topics in condensed matter physics.
In addition to my academic work, I'm interested in using a wide array of tools to communicate research-level science to a broad audience. These tools include anything from partaking in exhibits of microscope images, to working with science education nonprofits, to making internet videos about the physics behind everyday phenomena.
Before moving to the US, I lived in Cork City in Ireland, where I did a BSc in Math and Physics. (Or "Maths and Physics" as people call it there.) When I'm not doing or talking about science, I like reading, music, and spending time outdoors.
