Marcel Masqué
PhD student in computational biology
In September 2026 I will start a PhD position at the van Oudenaarden group at the Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
In June 2026 I graduated cum laude with a master's degree in Mathematics from Utrecht University. My master's thesis studied the factorization homology of orbifolds, and was written under the supervision of Dr Gijs Heuts.
