Publications Overview
I am specializing in advanced fluorescence microscopy and super-resolution imaging. My research background includes studying host–symbiont interactions using a combination of fluorescence and electron microscopy to understand cellular organization and dynamics at multiple scales. At the University of Vienna, my work focuses on developing and adapting novel fluorescence imaging approaches, with particular emphasis on super-resolution microscopy. I am involved in optimizing imaging workflows and instrument performance to support cutting-edge biological research at CeMESS.
