I was born in Macedonia and relocated to Switzerland during my teenage years. I am a microengineer who has received training from EPFL and IBM Research in Switzerland, as well as Technion in Israel. Fascinated by plants, I joined Cornell in 2023 to work on new technologies and methods to study the vascular transports in plants.
