@RoyalSociety University Research Fellow @EdinburghUni @PhysAstroEd. @ERC_Research StG on Topologically Active #DNA Materials. Always learning 🧬
Edinburgh, Scotland
Joined September 2019
I can't say how happy I am to have been awarded an #ERC Starting Grant from @ERC_Research! With possibly one of the shortest acronyms ever. my TAP ("Topologically Active Polymers") project aims to create new polymeric & #DNA-based materials that can change #topology in time 🇪🇺.

It doesn't happen every day to be highlighted in @NatureMaterials! .Thanks @emanueladelgado, this made my day ❤️.
Excited about discoveries of topological motifs in complex network materials! If you have not read the beautiful paper by Giorgia Palombo, Simon Weir, @Dmichiel1, and Yair Fosado yet, please do! This is just my teaser …

Such a pleasure to present our work at the meeting of minds @royalsociety! . It's always satisfying to see shocked faces in the audience when I state that we have enough DNA in each of us to travel to the end of the solar system several times!

Not sure who's left here at X but in case someone is still interested in #softmatter and can see this on their feed. 🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢.Pretty cool story about topology and rheology or "Topological (visco)elasticity".🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢.

I often feel like a random walk in this phase diagram.
Expert's Dilemma: the more specialized you become, the less open you are to creative solutions from other fields. But the more you explore other fields, the more you risk losing credibility in your home field.
