2026- Postdoctoral Researcher, University Freiburg Clinical Center

Developing, extending, and modifying computational mathematical models to simulate signal and gene regulation in tissue and cell development.

2021-2025 Research Assistant, Nova University of Lisbon

SILICOMEDIA project with GlaxoSmithKline Belgium: 

• Developed a hybrid genome-scale model of CHO cells to optimize feeding strategies. 

• Applied metabolic and AI-based modeling to improve recombinant protein production. 

• Collaborated in interdisciplinary academic–industry teams.

2015-2020 Doctoral Research, Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems, Germany

My PhD research topic was ''Modeling the Dynamics of Cell Growth, Central Carbon Metabolism and Virus Production in Animal Cells'' under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Udo Reichl and Dr. Yvonne Genzel. I established dynamic models to describe cell growth or even virus infection for different cell lines and process conditions (batch, shaker flask and continuous). I gained profound knowledge into bioprocesses, establishing continuous models of bioprocess and parameter optimization.

The overall achievements were:

• Designed dynamic and mechanistic models of mammalian cell growth, virus infection, and metabolism. 

• Performed parameter estimation, data integration, and simulation for large-scale bioprocesses. 

• Presented work at international conferences.
