Selected data storytelling projects
A few things I have made with data
These projects began with things I was curious about, from the routes birds take and the music I lived with to volcanoes, food, microbes, and electricity.

Bird Migration
How did three gulls from the same coast find different ways south?
Three gulls from the same coast left up to 78 days apart and wintered in different countries. Their journeys show how timing and stopovers can split a shared migration route.

My Year in Music
What can a year of listening history remember that I forgot?
My listening reached 187.7 hours in July, more than twice the spring average, then eased after I moved to Poland. The pattern turns a year of Spotify history into a record of thesis pressure and changing routines.

03 / Population exposure
Living with Volcano
How close do millions of people actually live to an active volcano?
About 60 million people live within 30 kilometres of a Holocene volcano on Java. The number shows the scale of exposure, while distance alone cannot describe volcanic risk.

04 / Food and geography
One Soup, Many Islands
How can one dish keep the same name while changing from island to island?
Soto Kebumen and Soto Seger Boyolali share eleven recorded ingredients and differ only by galangal. Their similarity shows that names and geography do not always predict how a bowl is made.

05 / Microbial growth
Growing, but Not Yet Steady
When does a growing microbial population actually become steady?
At a 1 to 10,000 dilution, effective steady state lasted about 90 minutes, while a 1 to 100 culture never reached it despite an exponential optical density curve. The result shows why cloudiness alone can make a changing population appear steady.

Spain’s Power Grid
How do weather and renewable supply reshape Spain’s electricity mix?
During the 2017 drought, hydro generation fell 44 percent and fossil generation rose 23 percent. The shift shows how weather can quickly reshape Spain’s power mix.

Older work
Some of these projects are unfinished, and I can see plenty I would do differently now. I keep them here because they show how my work has changed over time.
