Honestly, I’ve been really enjoying making these, probably the most I’ve been excited to model something for months. So I exchanged some sleep for a faster turnaround :) Previous post here...
So I 3D modelled two icons (well, illustrations rather) for the communities that I created on kbin: Industrial Design and Jewelry Design. These icons are meant to reimagine kbin’s logo in a way that's relevant to each community....
If you have any interest in data visualization, consider giving @infobeautiful a follow.
Founded by British journalist & designer David McCandless, they've been posting their high quality visual explorations of information here since September.
The fedi account has been flying a bit under the radar so far - they have many tens of thousands of followers on other platforms for good reason.
I'm looking for post-doc research opportunities or web/software development roles, ideally a combination, as in digital humanities research.
My previous research experience is in heritage and higher education for the arts.
My PhD was about knowledge frameworks and the affordances of digital tools and representations in research, in relation to research reuse, transparency and inclusivity.
I would love to be able to contribute more to innovative work on research and knowledge representations.
I am open to new possibilities! In particular I am interested in the possibility of becoming involved in sustainability and biodiversity-related research.
I am a full-stack web developer, and have a good deal of front-end design experience. I am open to all opportunities, particularly remote working!
I am not great at this self-promotion thing...
I will be putting a portfolio site online soon, but am happy to share a CV with anyone who is interested in the meantime.

A quantum simple pendulum.
The pendulum position is spread out, with opacity here being proportional to the probability that the pendulum is at that position at a given time. The average position of the quantum dynamics is the same as the classical pendulum dynamics (Ehrenfest theorem).
Technicalities: I used the Crank-Nicholson method to evolve the system in time. This is a 1D problem, and the only variable I considered was the angle, with the initial state being a Gaussian.

Happy and honored to give a virtual keynote at the #CrossingFonds Symposium next week in Vancouver/online!
I will speak about conceptual analogues as a versatile vehicle to aid transdisciplinary collaboration in the intersecting contexts of #archives, #visualization and #design.
I'd like to make some maps to understand who can access a particular location by public transport.
I'm imagining specifying a small area and drawing all the public transport lines that intersect that area. Bonus points if I can filter by timetables - it's for church and Sunday timetables are a pain.
Can code something if needed but I've not worked with map data before. All ideas welcome :) tyvm!

Can shadows move faster than light?
Not really. There is nothing moving sideways, so nothing is moving faster than light (which, incidentally, mean you can't use shadows to communicate faster than light).
But the edges of the projection of the shadow can indeed appear to move arbitrarily fast. #ITeachPhysics#Visualization#Physics#Optics

Magnetic hysteresis: In a ferromagnet the equilibrium configuration is with all magnetic moments aligned with each other. If we want to flip them, we need to flip all of them at the same time, which requires a stronger field than if the moments were independent, resulting in the characteristic hysteresis loop.
(Simulation done by numerically solve the Landau–Lifshitz equation with a tiny bit of noise added to speed the process up on a square grid of magnetic moment with periodic boundary conditions.)
we have a few open positions for junior researchers / PhD students in a forthcoming research center on Knowledge-Assisted Visual Analytics for Industrial Manufacturing at the
St. Poelten University of Applied Sciences, starting in January 2024.

Does a chaotic system always behave chaotically?
Not really, as many chaotic systems have a subset of possible initial conditions that lead to a quasi-periodic motion.
As an example, below are two sets (black and orange) of 20 double pendula each, all with the same initial energy, and each group starting with very similar initial conditions.
The first group (black) spread out a little bit with time, but nearby initial conditions keeps evolving into nearby dynamics, which is typical of integrable systems.
On the other hand the pendula in the second group (orange) also starts with similar initial condition, but after a short transient evolve each very differently from each other, which is a mark of a chaotic system. #Physics#Visualization#Chaos
OC I’m back with several more community icons: check out Artemis (future kbin app), Urban Details, 3D Modeling and some other stuff

OC I designed and rendered a couple of icons for the magazines I started, and I’d like to share some behind the scenes images with y'all. I’m also open to doing a few more of these in future.
