Carla’s past research has been centered on visualizing through haptic and interactive experiences different complex scientific concepts. She created different immersive experiences in my practice, including kinetic- robotic objects, physical visualizations, and museum installations that materialize abstract concepts such as dark matter and antimatter to provide learning and discovery. Her work has been exhibited and demoed in the USA, Finland, and Spain, which allowed her to interact with multiple audiences to iterate on the designs.
