Project Title:

To explore the role of cell surface M. smithii and M. intestini in bacteria–archaea and host–archaea interactions

My scientific interest:

My research focuses on understanding the role of methanogen cell surface components in mediating interactions within microbial communities and with the human host. I use a combination of wet lab and computational approaches, including anaerobic culturing, transcriptomics and metabolomics data analysis, and pathway-level interpretation. This integrative approach allows me to identify key molecular mechanisms underlying bacteria–archaea and host–archaea interactions, with the broader goal of understanding their functional relevance in complex biological systems.

I like to do in my free time:

In my free time, I’ve been trying to build a more screen-free lifestyle. I enjoy dancing and cooking, and recently I’ve started learning sketching, which has been a nice creative outlet. When I do spend time on screens, I prefer using it to explore and learn about new developments in AI.

What really motivates me is the feeling of making steady progress, whether it’s learning something new, improving a skill, or simply becoming more disciplined in daily life. I value staying curious and challenging myself, both inside and outside of my research.
