Artist and researcher working at the intersection of drawing, computation, and embodied perception.
Drawing · Computational Art · Media & Science Research · Film
I work across artistic and scientific practices to explore materiality, perception, and embodied intelligence. My work examines biological, emotional, and technological boundaries through hand drawing, machine learning, and speculative material systems.
I’m a physicist, filmmaker, and interdisciplinary researcher with over 12 years of experience spanning theoretical physics, quantum hardware, computational modeling, experimental design, and deep-tech innovation. I hold a PhD in Physics from the University of Cambridge and am a co-founder of a photonics quantum computing company.
I am currently a Venture Partner at Tachyon Ventures, where I work with early-stage companies at the intersection of advanced technology, computation, and emerging scientific paradigms.
My work seeks to bridge the gap between the technical and the felt. By blending artistic and scientific practices, I explore the boundaries of materiality and perception through hand drawing, machine learning, and speculative material systems.
Research Interests
Boundary systems and permeability; embodied and spatial perception; computational interpretation of expressive artifacts; feminist materialism and agential realism; queer approaches to embodiment and relationality; soft materials and fragile interfaces; micro-robotic and small-scale sensing systems; observer–observed dynamics.
