Visuals are a powerful communication tool, and as such are an integral part of a thriving research program. Too often the visual component of research is treated as an afterthought, thus limiting the impact of complex research to a small community of dedicated colleagues.
My interests lie in acting as a bridge between research scientists and their various audiences: their colleagues in the scientific community, their students, the media, and the general public. By creating intriguing, intuitive imagery targeted to the right audience, scientists can make their research both interesting and accessible, ultimately leading to a more engaged and scientifically literate public.
