Research
Advanced microscopy and image analysis for quantitative cell biology.
I develop microscopy and image analysis methods to study cell organization across scales. Explore the three areas below for an overview of the questions, methods, and projects.
Polarization & super-resolution
Measuring molecular orientation and nanoscale structure using polarized super-resolution microscopy.
Read more →3D live-cell image analysis
Navigation, tracking, restoration, and data workflows for complex microscopy datasets.
Read more →My current work at the Institute of Hydrobiology centers on cyanobacterial cell division. Collaborations in polarization imaging and computational microscopy extend these methods to molecular organization and live-cell data.
