Botanical Fabrication: A research project at the intersection of design, botany and horticulture [PDF]
, 2015 ‘Botanical Fabrication’ is an on-going research initiative which investigates how an understanding of botany and horticultural techniques can challenge the design process and lead to alternative sustainable manufacturing or ‘eco-facturing’ tools.

Phototropism: Translating light into directional growth. [PDF]
, 2012 Phototropism allows plants to align their photosynthetic tissues with incoming light. The direction of incident light is sensed by the phototropin family of blue light photoreceptors (phot1 and phot2 in Arabidopsis), which are light-activated protein ...

How to detect when cells in space perceive gravity [PDF]
It is useful to be able to measure when and whether cells detect gravity during spaceflights. For studying gravitational physiology, gravity perception is the response the experimentalist needs to measure.
