  • How physics helps to simulate a search for life on Mars
    As part of the 2020 Canadian Association of Physicists Lecture Tour, I talked to public audiences, high school classes, and undergraduate physics students about how infrared and visible light help track down minerals that could be associated with robust microbial life.

  • Shark skin, butterfly wings, and lotus leaves: the physics of water on rough surfaces
    As part of the 2017 Canadian Association of Physicists Lecture Tour, I talked to public audiences and undergraduate physics students about how physics can be used to understand and create water-repellent surfaces.
