NASA
Through MICAs “Astro-Animation” course and the CRESST-II Program, I had the opportunity to work with NASA scientists on multiple occasions. My role was to visualize their research on varying topics. Below are some of my most recent projects.
CRESST-II Program
Spaghettification, Summer 2021
What happens when you get too close to a black hole? This concept is explored in my 2021 Film, “Spaghettification.” Completed under Laurence Arcadias, Robin Corbet, and Jay Friedlander, the Film incorporates concepts from NASA Scientists as well as Character Animation.
Superorbital Variation Series, Summer 2021
Originally shown at the BeXRB 2021 conference, the “Superorbital Variation Series” helps visualize how orbiting matter is affected by energy given off from certain stars. The series contains four different examples, showing changes in orbit speeds and streams of energy.

Gravity, Spring 2021
With a more artistic approach, “Gravity” is a film about, well, some of the properties of Gravity! It uses the relationship between two figures to exemplify the physics concepts, strengthened by a motion-graphic poem.
Helpful Hydrocarbons, Spring 2021
The culminating work of the 2021 Astro-Animation course, “Helpful Hydrocarbons” is an educational film about Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’s). It was created through collaboration with MICA student Elliot Zink, and under the instruction of Laurence Arcadias, Robin Corbet, and NASA Scientist Jason Glenn.
