She did her bachelor and master in physics at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. For my masters thesis I used mathematical modelling to study the optimal survival strategy for bacteria under the stochastic application of antibiotics. I have also previously worked with linear stability in ecological systems, simuilating evolution of simple food webs and studying their eigenvalue spectra.
For her PhD she will be working on actin dynamics and cell migration. Actin is a protein and the main component in the cell cytoskeleton. The actin network is highly dynamic and essential for cellular processes such as cell migration and maintainance of cell shape. The project will combine experimental, numerical and theoretical methods.
