During this period, I made multiple research placements in PMMH group (https://www.pmmh.espci.fr), under the direction of Prof. Anke Lindner. It involved distinct tasks such as: 1. Learning experimental microfluidics techniques for studying biological objects; 2. Study of DNA deformation in customised bifurcating networks imposing controlled shear stress distribution; 3. Development of a tracking system to study biological objects in microfluidic devices; 4. Study of DNA molecules under extensional flow using the same customised tracking system. Show less

During this period, I was responsible for developing an efficient and inexpensive microfluidic system for the purpose of polymeric droplet emulsification. The produced multivesiculated particles were analysed using physical and mechanical tests.
