New blogpost! “Subtitles, Closed Captions, and Open Captions: What's the Difference?”
If you've ever wondered whether "closed captions" imply the existence of "open captions," or why video players seem to distinguish between captions and subtitles, this post is for you!
Come for a somewhat goofy 1950s horror film trailer; stay for the takeaways about an important #accessibility

Subtitles, Closed Captions, and Open Captions: What's the Difference?
A lay of the land of the different kinds synchronized transcription, featuring a creature with atom rays of superhuman strength.

RobotCycle: Assessing Cycling Safety in Urban Environments
This paper introduces RobotCycle, a novel ongoing project that leverages Autonomous Vehicle (AV) research to investigate how cycling infrastructure influences cyclist behaviour and safety during real-world journeys. The project's requirements were defined in collaboration with key stakeholders (i.e. city planners, cyclists, and policymakers), informing the design of risk and safety metrics and the data collection criteria. We propose a data-driven approach relying on a novel, rich dataset of di…

Karuta is a collectible card bot powered by Discord that currently features more than 90k anime characters.
Working closely with the creators of Karuta, I designed over 240 skill icons, and more than 50 status and effect emotes for use within the game.

Karuta Icons and Emotes - Andy Carolan Illustration and Design
Karuta is a Discord-powered collectible card bot that currently encompasses a vast assortment of over 90,000 anime characters. In collaboration with the developers of Karuta, I undertook the task of designing and providing a comprehensive collection of 240 skill icons, as well as over 50 status and effect emotes, to be incorporated into the game.

Who says online exhibitions aren't a thing anymore? Not us. Every semester, Callan Steinmann, our head of education and curator of academic and public programs works with University of Georgia students (either museum interns or Museum Studies students) on a pop-up exhibition of works from our collection. The works are on view for only one night, but we preserve the work these students do by turning the pop-up into a permanent show online.

Introducing two improved methods for approximating radiative cooling in hydrodynamical simulations of accretion discs
The evolution of many astrophysical systems depends strongly on the balance between heating and cooling, in particular star formation in giant molecular clouds and the evolution of young protostellar systems. Protostellar discs are susceptible to the gravitational instability, which can play a key role in their evolution and in planet formation. The strength of the instability depends on the rate at which the system loses thermal energy. To study the evolution of these systems, we require radia…
