Outreach & Public Engagement

Outreach and public engagement is a key pillar of a lot of my work, particularly in designing and building exhibits anyone can interact with. For a few highlights:

Research, Innovation & Collaboration

I’m most motivated when working with a diversity of subjects and groups of people. I’ve been involved in a number of R&I activities with international and interdisciplinary collaboration, most with a Data Science link. A few highlights:

Teaching, Mentoring & Academic Citizenship
