Research:
Since its inception, the microscope has revolutionized our vision of Nature, giving insight into a world invisible to the naked eye, while advancing our knowledge and understanding of Life. Alas, the resolution of conventional microscopes have long been limited by the so-called diffraction limit. Thankfully, the last two decades have witnessed the advent of a new range of techniques capable of surpassing the diffraction limit, and the birth of a new field: Super-Resolution Microscopy.
I research super-resolution microscopy, specifically Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) in the Rowlands Lab. This technique enables 3D multi-colour live-imaging of biological samples at twice the resolution of standard widefield microscopes. I'm currently developing new methods for increasing speed and throughput in SIM. If you are a biologist or a neuroscientist who would be interested in imaging biological features below 250nm at high speed, feel free to contact me.
Biography:
While completing my undergraduate studies at Grenoble Institute of Technology, I had my first taste of research as an intern in a joint-research unit between Grenoble-Alpes University and CNRS where I worked on the electrochemical characterization of a biomimetic membrane and enzyme function for the development of an enzymatic biofuel cell. In 2016, I was granted a one-year Erasmus scholarship to study at Imperial’s Department of Bioengineering. As a Masters exchange student, I worked on the development of a wearable wireless microplatform for non-invasive localisation of Coronary Artery Stenosis under the supervision of Prof. Emmanuel Drakakis. In search of another exciting and interdisciplinary project to delve into, I then joined Rowlands Lab as a PhD student where I am currently researching super-resolution microscopy and developing new methods for increasing speed and throughput in Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM).
