Topography series, detail
I am a scientist, artist, and writer.
My writing — on algorithmic art, a forgotten female scientific illustrator, and the mechanisms of mass extinctions — has appeared in Scientific American, Kenyon Review, and Rain Taxi.
Currently, I’m a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University in the Xiong and Didychuk laboratories studying viruses using electron microscopes.
I earned my Ph.D. in Chemistry from Columbia University investigating the mechanism through which the fundamental biological processes of transcription and translation are coupled in bacteria. Previously, I earned my B.A. in Chemistry and Studio Art from Kenyon College. My artwork explores landscape, mapping, and memory.
