CV of Dr. Iliya Dimitrov Stoev
 |
In 2016, Dr. Stoev received his MChemPhys in Chemical Physics from University of Edinburgh after spending one year in industry at Syngenta and receiving the award for best Master's project that year. In 2020, he graduated with his PhD in soft matter physics at the Cavendish Laboratory in the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge. Until mid-2023 he was a postdoctoral researcher in biophysics at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) in Dresden in the lab of Prof. Moritz Kreysing. Since the start of 2024, Dr. Stoev is a fully funded independent research fellow (YIG Prep Pro) at the Institute of Biological and Chemical Systems - Biological Information Processing, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where he works on the design and characterisation of sequence-programmable DNA systems. |
