The 14th Computational Cameras and Displays (CCD) Workshop is happening next week at #CVPR2025 @cvprconference.bsky.social

From holographic displays and aberrations to self-sustaining cameras and seeing never-before-seen colors! See you there!

๐ŸšจBREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

This is blatant life endangerment thru dangerous public policy I wouldnโ€™t have thought possible until recently. In Ontario the Doug Ford Govt plans to BAN LAWSUITS against the Province WHEN people on bikes are hurt or killed after they rip out safe bike-lanes. โ€œStay off streets for your own safety.โ€

How my first semester as a new assistant professor has felt like while teaching a new class from scratch, starting a new lab with 4 PhD students, while pregnant and with a toddler at home. I am looking forward to winter break!

Twenty little black and white cycling line drawings, as follows:
Itโ€™ll be worth it / great view from the top (person cycling up a hill).
Bike shed - caption 'Room for another one?'
This machine fights climate change (bicycle).
'Slow and steady wins the race'. Picture of person on upright bike.
Bike helmet with 'A safe route would be even better' written on it.
People cycling helps drivers, showing how cycling removes one car from the queue in front of you.
Cargo bike (yes you can). Picture of cargo bike carrying washing machine.
Ding dong. Bike bell. (Cyclists: Pass pedestrians with care).
Cycling helps the NHS, written inside a heart.
Thereโ€™s a bike for almost everyone, showing an adapted cycle.
Give us space - thank you. Diagram showing safe passing distance.
VIP transport (Very Important Pet). Pet in bike basket.
Picture of person on bike with caption 'Pays the same taxes you do'.
Folding bike picture, showing how they open up possibilities. Car boot, under your desk, on a train.
Take care please. Picture showing family on bikes ('could be your family') with car behind.
This weekโ€™s shopping, arrows pointing at shopping on bike.
E-bikes arenโ€™t cheating. Picture of bike going up hill.
'Largely fuelled by cake', written on a piece of cake with bicycle topper.
Where thereโ€™s a road let's make a safe bike route too. Shows bike route next to road.
'Have fun out there'. Two cyclists and a sign saying 'adventure', pointing in the direction they are going.

Hi everyone! I work on making better cameras and microscopes for science by co-designing optics and algorithms.

I also like to use my cargo bike to commute and get around town with my toddler. I mostly post about research and science, as well as urbanism and safe streets.
