I started my academic journey by finishing my BSc in Computer Engineering, finding my interest in molecular biology and genetics afterwards. I have done my MSc on plant pathogens and phylogenetics. Going down further into this science I have much I love it.

I am doing my PhD in the Hildebrand Group, investigating novel protocols for microbial communities. I am fascinated by population genetics and phylogenetics, pursuing to learn more about the dynamics of the gut microbiome.
