Mobirise

Virtual Virus - a project in collaboration with graphic designers William Latham and Frederic Fol Leymarie from Goldsmiths and London Geometry.

An opportunity to experience mathematical models of viral geometry in a virtual reality environment using the CSynth platform. The photo shows IMA president David Youdan exploring viral geometry at a showcase after my Gold Medal Lecture at the Royal Society in July 2019.

Polyhedral models

Polyhedra are used to model the surface architectures of viruses.

Virus VR

Our VR platform enables the user to experience viral geometry in 3D, and see how mathematical models enable discovery in virology.

Art and Science in Dialogue 
Exhibition at the Ron Cooke Hub in association with the 4th Mathematical Virology workshop with financial support from the Wellcome Trust funded C2D2 programme. Artwork created during a YCCSA summer school project with PhD student Emilio Zappa (now Assistant Professor at Fordham University in NY), Briony Thomas, and project students Motiejus Valiunas and Adam Arstall.

Viral geometry

Viruses exhibit icosahedral symmetry for reasons of genetic economy.
