Mariana Espinosa - MEXICO

Researcher - Theoretical physics
 

Studied Physics at the Faculty of Sciences at UNAM. Master’s in Philosophy and Science Communication at UNAM’s Institute of Philosophical Research. Ph.D. in Social Sciences and Humanities from UAM. Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Applied Mathematics and Systems Research (IIMAS-UNAM), focusing on theoretical networks of cosmological models. Her work combines astronomy, physics, and the history and philosophy of science, characterized by her use of diverse visual formats, including drawing, photography, astrophotography, holography, video, infographics, and data visualizations. She explores formal concept analysis and network visualizations as modes of expression. Her doctoral work proposes interactive, web-based conceptual networks that link fundamental concepts across numerous space-time and gravitation theories.
