I've always been fascinated by how things work! This curiosity led me to attend a specialized electronics secondary school, where I was captivated by another incredible system—living beings. My interests also extend to music, which I studied for a few years before fully committing to biology. Becoming a dad twice has further fueled my curiosity, inspiring me to start diverse multidisciplinary projects that blend electronics, physics, and biology. I am also expanding my plant-based research towards plant-microbe interactions in collaboration with my wife, Paula. I believe that both basic and applied science are humanity's best hope to navigate our chaotic global situation, always guided by strong moral values.
