Outreach & Science Communication

I actively engage in public outreach and science communication to bridge research, art, and society. Below you can find some of my outreach activities. I am passionate about making science accessible and engaging for diverse audiences, and I welcome opportunities to collaborate on outreach projects.

Sonification Exchange

In a conversation with Zsófi Szalavári we learn from each other through a sonification exchange. The goal is to learn about gravitational waves through sound, and together we discuss how sonification can help us understand phenomena that are difficult to observe directly, while opening new doors to experiencing and communicating science.

I contributed to inclusive outreach by using sonifications of gravitational waves, like the following one presented on the ESA LISA website.

Animations

I also like to create animations to illustrate complex astrophysical phenomena. Below is an example of an Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral (EMRI) animation I created to visualize the inspiral of a stellar-mass black hole into a supermassive black hole, showcasing the intricate gravitational wave. If you want to create animations like the ones above, use the code here: EMRI_Animation GitHub Repository

In collaboration with Nora Lützgendorf, we created a visualization of the inspiral of a stellar-mass black hole into a supermassive black hole, showcasing the intricate gravitational waveforms produced during this process. The animation below illustrates the dynamics of the system and the resulting gravitational waves. If you are interested in collaborating on outreach projects or have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
