Outreach

Interactive exhibits: Optimization in Radiotherapy

Starting in 2018, I worked with digital artist and College of Design professor Emil Polyak, his amazing design students, and Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya of The Leading Strand (a design-meets-science initiative that aims to bring contemporary scientific research accessible to the public) to create an interactive installation that demonstrates the role of mathematical optimization algorithms in cancer radiotherapy.

These outreach activities were partially funded by the National Science Foundation and the NC State College of Design.
