Research interests
My research involves characterization of native spider silk for finding a correlation between its material properties and its success in supporting peripheral nerve regeneration. I am also interested in employing spectroscopical methods for quantification of nerve regeneration. In addition, I use ultrashort pulsed lasers for precise and targeted production of functional materials with tailored properties.
