I believe that science thrives when we cross disciplinary boundaries and bring together different perspectives. This philosophy also shapes my approach to academic service, where I aim to connect people and research communities, foster collaboration, and contribute to an inclusive and stimulating academic environment. I am equally committed to improving academic education and supporting the development of students and early-career researchers.
