I love exploring creative ways to share our scientific discoveries and ideas. Here are a few projects I am excited about.

Beyond the Telescope

In March 2026, I will be presenting the planetarium program Beyond the Telescope: Observing the Universe's Cosmic Dawn with JWST at the Museum of Science in Boston. The show uses real James Webb Space Telescope data to take audiences to the edge of the observable universe and explore how quasars and early galaxies evolved. It combines cutting-edge astronomy with immersive visualization to make the Cosmic Dawn accessible to a broad public audience.

Artist in Residence

The MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research has recently launched an artist-in-residence program. I am a member of the selection committee that chooses a visual artist who will work side by side with MKI scientists and engineers, exploring questions about the universe while creating artwork for an exhibition. The goal is to foster a genuine dialogue between art and science, translating complex astrophysical ideas into compelling visual forms.

Cambridge Science Festival

As part of the Cambridge Science Festival in 2024 I gave a talk at the MIT Museum on black holes, showcasing some new research results with the James Webb Space Telescope. The event took place on the museum large-format screen, enabling us to show the telescope in its real size (as shown on the photo).

Cosmic Dawn IPA

In the summer of 2023, we held a conference called "First Light" focused on the first exciting results on the early universe with JWST at MIT. In that context we organized a public outreach event for which I designed the "Cosmic Dawn" New England Style IPA with the local Lamplighter brewery in Cambridge. The label featured a small part of the sky around a bright quasar imaged with JWST.

House of Astronomy

During my PhD I worked as an Outreach Fellow at the House of Astronomy in Heidelberg, a beautiful building shaped like a spiral galaxy with a planetarium in the galactic center. As an Outreach Fellow I gave planetarium shows and explained the astronomical research conducted in Heidelberg to visitor groups of all ages and backgrounds.
