Background

I have a Background in Environmental Geosciences (M.Sc)
Currently Studies in Media Informatics at Bauhaus University
I love Science and Design and like to explore the numerous links between them

Idea No. 1

(Keywords: Nitrogen cycle, information design, interactive learning device, sonofication)

In collaboration with the microbes i want to create an interactive information visualization and sonification to give an insight into some fascinating aspects of the bio-geochemical nitrogen cycle (especially denitrification). This highly complex and dynamic process is particularly relevant in nature and for humans. I want to transform the process of denitrification into sound images and process them visually

Resources

Simple Video about the global Nitrogen Cycle:

Review Paper about Nitrogen processes in aquatic ecosystems:

General information about the process of Denitrification:

Idea No 2

(Keywords: Sustainable Materials, Biodesign, Growing Design, microbial fuel cell)

Using Microbes to grow materials from solid wastes (e.g. with Mycelium) to use it as a material basis for ecological product design or use their energetic potential (microbial fuel cell; bio-photovoltaics) to supply a product/device with small amounts of energy.

Resources

An Introduction about what Biodesign is and what it is not:
