• Lecturer in Light Microscopy and Neurogenetics
• Head of Bioimage Core Facility

His research explores neural stem cell division, hypoxia responses in the developing brain, and genetic regulation of brain structure using Drosophila as a model organism. Key methodologies include live cell imaging, super-resolution microscopy, and genetically encoded biosensors.

Recent publications highlight work on centrosome asymmetry, Notch signaling in stem cell regulation, and hypoxia response mechanisms. He also contributes to technical advancements in fluorescence microscopy and in vivo imaging.
