"Ce que l'on conçoit bien s'énonce clairement,
Et les mots pour le dire viennent aisément"
-- Nicolas Boileau, Art poétique
I love sharing my passion for learning about our Universe. Understanding the magic of everyday-life physical phenomena only makes the world around us more magical. I give public lectures for audiences from 3rd graders to retirees, at schools, universities and amateur astronomy clubs. Please do not hesitate to contact me!
I love DIY science and astronomy projects accessible to everyone. If you are interested, please read on!
Near-space photography on a weather balloon
I led a group of undergraduate students to safely launch and recover a helium balloon and photograph the Earth from ~30km altitude (3 times higher than airliners).
I filmed astronomers at Lick Observatory, as they gave a virtual tour for the Bay Area Science Festival.
