I work at the intersection of art and science, exploring links between biology, visual arts, and digital media.
As an educator I have developed and taught a wide variety of novel undergraduate courses in the visual arts, genetics and foundational biology. As a scientist I was one of the founding members of the genome project in the USA and as an artist I continue to be inspired by the complexity of the natural world. I am Professor of Biology and Art and Michael E. Moody Professor at Olin College of Engineering in Needham, MA, where I have been a faculty member since 2001.
