Postdoctoral Fellows
Gabi Steinbach – Postdoc, Physics 2018-present
Contact: gabi.steinbach.de(at)gmail.com Google Scholar Profile
Gabi is excited to study bacterial communities, and likes to picture
them as the animated version of colloidal particles that she worked on
during her PhD in Germany. If research does not detain her in the lab,
she can be found on the dance floor or travelling the world on her bicycle.
