Presentations | Talks and posters

Public speaking is one of my favorite aspects of science, and a skill that I have cultivated since elementary school. Nowadays I enjoy presenting my work at technical conferences and symposia. Below you will find a list of those presentations, including links to recordings or slides/posters. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to provide feedback or ask any questions.
