Research interests:

I work in interdisciplinary teams on fascinating topics such as the emergence of life and epigenetic post-translational modifications. To address my research questions and the challenges they present, I develop novel creative modeling strategies, including the use of data science techniques. The aim of my work is to strengthen the bridges between computational studies and experiments and to shed light on chemical phenomena, especially reaction mechanisms.
