Outreach & Art

Fraktale selbst basteln!

A public, hands-on workshop about fractals and the Pythagoras tree, which was part of the International Day of Mathematics 2025. Children and adults learned about fractals and created their own fractal creatures and fractal tree.

Lange Nacht der Forschung

Austria's largest public science event, where hundreds of visitors explored mathematical biology research through live demonstrations, interactive visualizations, and hands-on activities.

High School Talks & Mini-Courses

Talks and mini-courses for high school students about mathematical research, introducing topics in mathematical biology, pattern formation, and computational modeling.

Rhythms of Fractals & Collective Movement

UCL Culture-funded collaboration with composer D. Hewett and artist B. Schimpelsberger exploring the sonic and visual dimensions of mathematical patterns. Produced a musical composition, video artworks, and an interactive public workshop.

How Many Zombies Are Too Many Zombies?

In partnership with game design studio Gigantic Mechanic, participants assume the role of scientists working with the "Center for Calamity Control" to simulate zombie outbreaks. Players modify simulation parameters, including zombie movement speeds, in a turn-based game of zombie tag — learning about modeling and differential equations through an engaging, physical experience of complex systems.

Soft Cell — How Mathematics Makes Cells Move

A collaboration with choreographer Kate Siccio exploring mathematical and biological connections through dance. Two dancers embody a single cell, their movements illustrating how different cells move in different scenarios — pushing, contracting and responding to stimuli. Audiences can wear cellular costumes and join the movement, becoming part of the interactive performance.

Women have been making dramatic scientific discoveries for millennia — even if they haven't always gotten the credit they deserve. This series of illustrations pays tribute to women pursuing a passion for science. Eclectic by design, the exhibition aims to reflect the many different ways to be a female scientist.

The series was originally designed for and published on Cooper Square Review, a Science Journalism website by the Carter Journalism Institute, NYU.

Nullstellen suchen und Fraktale finden

A text about the connection between Newton's method to find roots and fractals, published in the Austrian magazine Die Wurzel, aimed at high school students, teachers and anyone curious about mathematics.

How to Tame Infinity

A real-life inspired essay about the childhood moment that sparked a fascination with mathematics — discovering the surprising geometry of zigzag paths and the strange behaviour of infinity. Originally published on Cooper Square Review.
