About me

  • I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. My research is primarily focused on developing  diagnostic tools and strategies for infection management. These include infection detection using bioelectronic devices for real-time monitoring of bacterial growth; and infection prevention, through developing antimicrobial surfaces that reduce bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation.
