Isabella Graf

Isabella is a postdoctoral associate working with Ben Machta (Department of Physics, Systems Biology Institute). Isabella’s research aims to provide a better understanding of critical phase behavior in cellular membranes and multicomponent mixtures and, more generally, of tuning mechanisms towards biological critical points. Isabella completed her PhD in Physics at LMU in Munich, Germany, in 2020. During her PhD she was a student representative of the Center for NanoScience (CeNS), on the organizing committee for the QBM (Quantitative Biosciences Munich) graduate school retreat to Venice and co-organizer of “Science Rocks!”. Outside of science, Isabella enjoys various types of sports, board games and traveling.
