He conducts research at the Centre for Optical Technologies (ZOT) and is particularly interested in the further development of high-resolution correlative light and electron microscopy to image specific molecules directly in their original cellular context and to address a variety of biomedical questions (from nanoplastics to parasite-cell interactions) across different resolution ranges.
