Rhythms of Fractals & Collective Movement
In collaboration with colleague David Hewett and composer Bernhard Schimpelsberger, this project explores how the wave patterns we study mathematically relate to musical rhythms. A link to the produced video can be found here. This project was funded by UCL Culture/EPSRC. |
ACCESS 2017
Project with the Queens based Science Museum New
York Hall of Science. This project consists of two
artist-scientist pairs to create a unique, collaborative and more
accessible view of scientific research to museum-goers. Listen
to the audio of the panel discussion about the project, or look at the produced video.
Some general infos here.
Project 1: How
Many Zombies Are Too Many Zombies? Collaboration with the game design studio Gigantic Mechanic. Details here. Description: Players take on
the role of scientists helping the “Center for Calamity
Control” simulate a zombie outbreak and help modify the
simulation by suggesting different parameters, such as the
number of steps zombies can take in the Zombie Outbreak
Simulator, a turn-based game of zombie tag. Simulating a
zombie outbreak serves as a fun way to physically embody a
complex system and learn about modeling and differential
equations through simple gameplay.

Project 2: Soft Cell - How Mathematics Makes Cells Move Collaboration with the choreographer Kate Siccio. Details here. Description: This performance
piece explores the connections between mathematics and
biology through dance and movement. In this performance,
two dancers become one cell and their movements
demonstrate how different cells may move in different
scenarios. As dancers push, contract and respond to
stimuli, a choreography emerges that reflects biological
systems. Audience members are encouraged to become part of
the performance, using the cellular costumes and joining
in the movement.

Cooper Square Review
The Cooper
Square Review is a publication devoted to book reviews,
essays, and musings from and about the world of science. It is a
project of the Carter Journalism Institute at the New York
University. My contributions are:
- A 10-part series of illustrations showcasing women in science and their work
- A book review and a story about how I knew I wanted to be a mathematician.
- The illustrations on the website.
