Artwork title:

Coalescence

Description:

The seven pieces portray the time evolution of a binary neutron star merger, and the turbulence of that coalescence. Overlayed with the time domain inspiral and post-merger gravitational wave signal. The sharp waveform overlayed is used to represent the precision of gravitational wave detectors on Earth, contrasting the noisy, and relatively mysterious, merger. Gold is used on the waveform to reflect the value of a high precision post-merger signal to my research field. Overall this work is used as a commentary as to how turbulent events in deep space are accurately translated to scientific evidence to the behaviour of extreme matter. Oil paint and gold marker on canvas. 11in x 14in each. No AI was used.

Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science

Let me in

Image created using acrylic paint. One of the challenges of our research is to find ways to assist the entry of small helical peptides into cells. It is a daunting environment, with membranes that do not let them pass, and proteases that, if they do, chop them up in pieces.

Plants for Space

Millennium duck

When I saw the duckweeds my colleagues were about to discard after an experiment, I couldn't resist rescuing them. I transferred the tiny plants into a pair of vials and placed them in my 3D printed Millennium Falcon holder. After all, if we want to garden in space, we have to start somewhere! Fun fact: duckweed is the world's smallest flowering plant and one of the fastest growing. It can contain up to 45% protein by dry weight, making it a promising sustainable food source—and perhaps even a future space superfood. This image was created without AI: just a camera on a stand and a black cloth as the background.

Automated Decision-Making and Society

Gaze Trails

Created in Python using an open-source eye-tracking dataset, this artwork transforms human gaze into a visual landscape. A short video recorded with a Tobii eye tracker in the RMIT Usability Lab is embedded in the piece, revealing how gaze is captured in real time. The video was edited using iMovie. Each coloured line represents the eye-movement trajectory of a different person while reading or searching for information. Though we may look at the same world, we do not see it in the same way. Our gaze reflects our habits, experiences, attention, cognitive states, and even aspects of personality. My research uses eye-tracking signals to better understand how individuals seek information and process knowledge. These insights may support personalised learning and adaptive technologies. Through this artwork, I hope to celebrate the uniqueness of human perception: every gaze follows its own path, and every person experiences the world differently.

A Highthrough put pipeline for root nodules phenotyping

This one-minute video showcases our high-throughput root nodule phenotyping workflow. Nodules are specialized organs that covert atmospheric nitrogen to plant available nitrogen supporting sustainable food production with less N-fertilizers. The technique was developed in response to a major challenge I faced during my first large scale mungbean GWAS experiment of my PhD: counting nodules by hand was extremely time-consuming, with one sample taking almost an hour, and highly labor-intensive. To address this, we developed a standardized imaging workflow that begins by setting up the lighting system, switching on the camera, and placing a color calibration chart to ensure consistent image quality. Roots are then carefully spread on the illuminated imaging surface, and high-resolution images are captured. Using this setup, we imaged nearly 1,000 root samples. These images will be analyzed with a deep learning model to automatically detect, count, and measure nodules.

Tangled Diversity

The Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) is a rich source of natural food colorants and antioxidants as well as a catalyst for advancements in medicine and agriculture. Key to these innovations are small circular defence molecules known as cyclotides. Notably the eco-friendly pesticide, Sero-X®, derives its potency from extracts of this versatile plant. Utilizing plant genomics and evolutionary studies, researchers at CIPPS aim to unravel the intricate genetic evolution within C. ternatea to shed light on how the plant’s genes have adapted and conferred new functions over time. This artwork blends watercolour painting and digital drawing to pay homage to the myriad of cyclotides produced by C. ternatea. A sequence diversity wheel is entwined by the vine, adorned with its vibrant coloured flowers, creating a visual testament to the plant’s genetic richness.

Plants for Space

From Rosette to Reproduction

Created from three original photographs taken during Arabidopsis growth experiments in a controlled-environment facility. The images are arranged as a simple progression from vegetative rosette, to emerging floral bud, to open flowers, with only cropping and basic exposure adjustments. This transition is controlled by networks of hormones, light and environmental signals. My research investigates how strigolactones and related pathways influence plant architecture, stress tolerance and the balance between growth and defence. The series shows how a tiny model plant can reveal decisions that are central to crop productivity on Earth and in future space-growing systems.
