About: Tim has a PhD in biology and a lifelong interest integrating science, art and new technology for novel uses. Tim’s graduate work stemmed from a passion for understanding how natural systems solve complex computational problems. For his graduate research Tim video taped army ant swarms in the rainforest in Costa Rica and then manually tracked the paths of tens of thousands of individual ants to learn how these ants organize their massive swarms. The resulting data allowed him build a computer model reproducing army ant swarming patterns.

Tim has served as a technical advisor on an array of video-based projects in both the academic and artistic community. After finishing Graduate School in 2006, Tim co-founded the company TimeScience (http://www.time-science.com). TimeScience’s mission is to integrate cutting edge technology into custom, software and hardware solutions facilitating scientific data collection and long-term, high-resolution timelapses.
