Listening to my mungbean plants

Description:

This photo was taken in mungbean fields at Hermitage Research Facility, Warwick, QLD, during my work of collecting shoot sampling at maximum biomass for N15 analysis, ranking genotypes by symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) capacity. Part of the GRDC-funded project "Genetic Initiative to Transform SNF in Australian Pulses," this field trial follows my PhD glasshouse screening of 300+ mungbean genotypes from WorldVeg and diverse Australian accessions, testing whether glasshouse-based selections hold up under field conditions. This work highlights efforts to boost SNF in mungbean, reducing reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertiliser for more sustainable food production. Mungbean also offers an affordable, protein-rich alternative to meat, supporting food security in developing countries.

An excellent photo reflecting science and life. Yes, we can speak to plants and they speak back...... just different type of language. Hoping you will have a very satisfying career with plants and thinking in your life.

Radioactivity in Sydney

This is the graphical abstract that has been officially published by the Journal of Environmental Radioactivity—the first of its kind in the journal. I am increasingly frustrated with the way we communicate science, even to other scientists. That's why we chose to present the graphical abstract as a comic: to make the story, motivation, and findings more engaging, accessible, and fun!

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.

Synthetic Biology

In Good Hands

This stop-motion video is made from drawings based on real personal videos, some taken since 2023 - before I even truly knew I wanted to pursue science. Not only does this animation attempt to capture the day-to-day work of Synthetic Biologists, but seen in every five frames is someone who has shaped my personal journey in science. The idea of this piece came from when I started thinking about how 'my science' is only made possible through all the science done by the people around me, either through direct mentorship, friendship, or inspiration. Every frame is a reminder that my science exists because they do. Drawings were done on Procreate. No AI was used.

AGN: Assembly Bias's Fault?

This video brings my SDSS study on active galactic nuclei (AGN) to life. It opens with a hook: supermassive black holes, not stars, are the universe's brightest objects, raising the question: why do some galaxies light up as AGN while others stay dim? Published in PASA, the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, our results show AGN are more strongly clustered than star-forming galaxies, even after matching stellar mass, and prefer denser regions. Comparing physical properties like colour, star formation rate, D4000 break and concentration index reveals these differences persist in both low and high-density regions, proving environment alone doesn't decide a galaxy's fate. Bulge structure and cold gas content matter more, varying widely between galaxies of the same mass. We call this assembly bias: a galaxy's unique formation history, not its mass or neighbourhood, decides alone whether it becomes an AGN. The video distils this finding into a short engaging story.

Gravitational Wave Discovery

The Many Voices of Spacetime

This artwork visualises the range of cosmic sources that ground-based gravitational-wave observatories search for. Merging black holes and neutron stars, appear alongside still-undiscovered signals from spinning neutron stars, exploding stars, unresolved populations, and other unexpected phenomena. Each object represents a source capable of disturbing spacetime and producing gravitational waves that travel toward the laser interferometer below. Created as a layered digital illustration using Adobe Illustrator, the piece combines stylised astronomical sources, propagating wave patterns, and an interferometer inspired by LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA. My research explores the populations and formation histories of merging compact objects. I created this artwork to show both the gravitational-wave sources we have already heard and the many cosmic signals we are still searching for. (No AI was used to produce this work.)
