What is your major field of study, and outside of this, do you have any additional interests you enjoy pursuing?

Hi, Sebastian - great to meet you virtually! My undergraduate major was physics, and I did my Ph.D. in physics as well, so I took all the standard undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in physics and a bunch of mathematics courses as well. My current research uses tools from physics and biology to understand how force and tension, exerted by cells on each other and on their surroundings, contribute to tissue growth. Outside science, I love classical music and play the cello in a chamber group (a piano trio—piano, violin, cell) and also love art history and go to art museums whenever I can.
