Connie is currently working on auricle tissue engineering. She is interested in everything customizable (she is troublesome and not happy with everything she is using), from the shape of the ear cartilage tissue she engineered to the cell culture devices she used, and is a great fan of 3D modelling and always fascinated by the everchanging manufacturing approahes. Outside the lab, she enjoys digital art, watching anime, and playing different sports like rock climbing, cycling, badminton, squash.
