Research
I've started in the Bioelectricity group led by Laura Wey in December 2025 as a doctoral researcher. During my PhD, I will be focusing on bioelectrochemical mechanism of photosynthetic exoelectrogenesis in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, specifically how it is affected by circadian rhythms and phosphorylation.
