In the last two semesters, I partnered with close friend and collaborator Prof. David Matthews (@UTKnoxville College of Architecture & Design, School of Interior Architecture) on a radical educational experiment in large project-based learning. archdesign.utk.edu/news/cosm…

Every moment of every day, invisible particles from space pass silently through your body. Traveling to Earth at nearly the speed of light, cosmic rays are everywhere but detectable only through...

We used real particle detectors (from CAEN and Supersaturated Environments) and 3D renderings of the lifespan of a cosmic ray (made in @Blender with real simulation of supernovas/kilonovas/hadronic interactions from Pythia) to tell this story and bring these phenomena to life.

The project has been a wild exploration of educational techniques, unlike anything we’ve ever seen — A unique experience in both design and physics education. A huge privilege to get to do this kind of work at @UTKnoxville @ArtsSciencesUT. Learn more at: cosmicrayn.utk.edu/
