Although being a physicist, my research interests are centred around human tissues. Specifically, I currently developed an expertise on red blood cells suspensions. My aim is to develop fundamental knowledge that can advance medical applications. I am therefore studying red blood cells collective behaviour, as a function of their single properties (a topic making use of statistical physics tools and concepts). Amongst others, I’m an expert of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and density separation. My investigations are strongly influenced by my background in self-assembly and collective properties of superparamagnetic colloids, which I studied during my PhD thesis.
