Postdoctoral Research Fellow
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Laboratoire J.A.Dieudonné at Université Côte d'Azur (Nice, France), under the supervision of Prof. Rachele Allena.
I am currently investigating through mathematical models the role of nuclear mechanical properties and nucleo-cytoskeletal connections in regulating confined cell migration. Using a combination of cell biology and biophysical approaches, we aim to understand how different cellular components influence cell mechanics and motility.
Previously, my research focused on mathematical modelling brain tumour growth through advanced mathematical frameworks that incorporate tissue deformation, phenotypic heterogeneity, and fluid–nutrient transport, with the goal of supporting personalised therapeutic strategies.
I am always open to meaningful discussions and collaborative opportunities!
