What I do.
I research on the role of beauty in science, asking questions such as:
- What makes an experiment beautiful?
- What role do aesthetic experiences play in scientific practice?
- Are beautiful scientific products, such as theories, experiments or images, more likely to reveal truths about nature or to mislead us?
- What is the role of creativity in scientific discovery and can AI enhance it?
- Does the automation of science threaten the aesthetic experiences of scientists, often seen as a leading motivators for scientific work?
