Cancer remains the second leading cause of death across EU countries, with ovarian cancer being one of the deadliest gynecological malignancies. Its asymptomatic onset and delayed diagnosis contribute to poor survival outcomes—only 4% at stage IV compared to 90% at stage I. Existing diagnostic tools lack the sensitivity, specificity, and scalability needed for routine early screening. There is...

From building my own microscope to constructing a synchrotron beamline, my research journey has been defined by designing tools to uncover new physics.
Over the past decade, my scientific path has been shaped by a series of deliberate leaps across diverse trajectories: instrumentation development, fundamental condensed matter physics, and atomic-scale device fabrication.
My journey began...

Plants respond to various physical stimuli, including environmental and mechanical stimuli, but their responses to an electric field are not well understood. Most studies have focused either on electrotropism, the directional growth of roots under an applied electric field, or on plant growth enhancement resulting from electric field exposure. However, the underlying mechanisms of plant...
