Teaching
Physics education, modeling, mentorship, and helping students become comfortable doing difficult things imperfectly.

I work with simulations,
teach physics,
and
make art.
I’m Tia Martineau, an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of New England. My work moves between physics education, computational astrophysics, and visual art.

Science
My research background is in numerical relativity and compact-object mergers, especially black hole–neutron star systems, ejecta, and multimessenger astrophysics.
Research background →03
Art
Portraits, horror, strange crops, bright color, and whatever I am currently trying to figure out with my hands.
