Research Themes

My publications span fundamental biophysics to biological applications:

• DNA-Protein Interactions: RecA-mediated homologous recombination, eukaryotic recombinases (Dmc1, Hop2-Mnd1)
• Biopolymer Physics: DNA behavior under spatial constraints and confinement
• Single-Molecule Biophysics: FRET, CoSMoS, and microfluidic approaches
• Biomimetic Systems: Vesicle-DNA interactions and cell adhesion models
