SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested in structure and dynamics of macromolecules, especially proteins. I like to investigate the details of how those molecules govern the cell using biophysical methods. Moreover I am interested in biophysical topics in general and would like to develop spectroscopic methods.
