Staff researcher / junior group leader - my vision is to develop novel microfluidic-based methods to tailor with high accuracy the structure-function of lipid-DNA nanoparticles, and improve their efficiency for gene delivery in therapeutic applications.

Visiting Scholar at Professor Cyrus Safinya's group, in the Materials Research Laboratory.

Return phase of a Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship. During the third (last) year of this fellowship I returned to Europe, to the Physical Chemistry group in Lund University, and continued the work initiated in Santa Barbara.

Outgoing phase of a Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship. During the first two years of this fellowship I worked in Professor Cyrus Safinya's laboratory, on the development of cationic liposome DNA nanoparticles, and on novel microfluidic-based methods for studies of soft materials under non-equilibrium conditions with in-situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS).
