  • Curriculum Vita
  • I am interested in many aspects of statistical physics, especially fluctuations, and in optics. I have designed and implemented novel experimental procedures and methods of analysis in microscopy, optical trapping and micromanipulation. I am interested in developing theoretical models to explain physical features of complex and biological systems.
