Short Biography

I hold a BSc in Biochemistry from University College London and completed a year-long internship at A*STAR’s Bioinformatics Institute in Singapore, where I developed computational workflows to probe enzyme stability. As an Ernst-Mach Scholar in the Nano Lab at Graz since October 2023, I design and characterize PETase variants to achieve efficient polyethylene terephthalate depolymerization under mild conditions.
