Dilan studied molecular biology and applied mathematics at Griffith University (Australia), with an honours year in experimental molecular biology. He then completed a PhD at the same university, which involved the mathematical modelling of aspects of the congenital heart disease Coarctation of the Aorta in arterial blood flow models, to identify possible causes of, and solutions to, patient issues. Dilan initially joined the Hasenauer group as a Lift-Off Fellow, to study the behavior of subpopulations of natural killer cells, and is now continuing this work as a postdoc in the group.
