Science Art and Visualizations
A sample of some of the art and data visualizations I've created.

This key figure used in DESI's Y1 the press release, displaying a narrow band on the sky spanning 190 degrees in right ascension and 14 degrees in declination.
The magnified section consists of galaxies from our Bright Galaxy Sample and extends to a redshift of 0.2. The colors are scaled by declination to show depth in the slice: darker colors are "behind" brighter structure.
In the background "butterfly", colors correspond to different types of galaxies observed: Bright Galaxy Survey, Luminous Red Galaxies, Emission Line Galaxies, and Quasars.
This represents less than 0.1% of our full survey volume. Image credit: Claire Lamman/DESI collaboration; custom colormap package by cmastro.
