Visualization of a black hole scattering and capture event

A visualization I created in 2024.

Rendering of a simulation with two black holes that scatter and then merge, emitting gravitational waves.

Tactile gravitational waves

A 3D-printing code I created in 2021.

Code to generate images of black-hole binary simulations that can be 3D-printed.

Visualization of GW190521

A visualization I created in 2020.

Renderings of the particulary high-mass gravitational-wave event measured by LIGO and Virgo on May 21, 2019.

Visualization of GW190814

A visualization I created in 2020.

Renderings of the highly unequal-mass gravitational-wave event measured by LIGO and Virgo on Aug 14, 2019.

Visualization of GW190412

A visualization I created in 2020.

Widely publicized renderings of the first unequal-mass and precessing gravitational-wave event measured by LIGO and Virgo on Apr 12, 2019.

Do black holes really exist?

An outreach talk I created in 2018.

A series of public talks in German that I gave as a Ph.D. student in Hamburg, Berlin, and Bremen.

Gravitational waves playground

An interactive iPad visualization I created in 2018.

In this Swift playground book you can make gravitational waves visible and control the visualization of this elusive radiation emitted by two inspiraling and merging black holes.

Black holes playground

A series of interactive iPad simulations I created in 2017.

In this Swift playground book you’ll explore the physics of black holes in Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity with three interactive simulations on your iPad. Discover the possible trajectories of test particles around a Schwarzschild source, explore the optical effects that occur when a massive object lenses a background light source and watch two black holes merge to hear the gravitational waves they produce in the process.
