Studio Galois
A line of math, science, and CS-inspired jewelry whose pieces are beautiful but carry hidden scientific meaning. Two styles so far: lambda calculus based pieces (a y-combinator earring and an expression that computes Graham's number) and quantum computing circuit pieces, sold online with lengthy science explanations of what each design represents.
What it addresses
Marketing and selling the jewelry is the hardest part; their pieces were previously carried by a jewelry store whose owner retired.

“My wife and I are working on a math/science/CS-inspired jewelry: pieces that are beautiful but have a (maybe a little hidden) meaning. E.g. earrings that are actually the y-combinator from lambda calculus. We have two styles as of now: lambda calculus based pieces (the y-combinator, and an expression that computes Graham's number), and quantum computing circuits.”

This project designs and sells math, science, and CS-inspired jewelry whose pieces stand on their own aesthetically while carrying hidden meaning. One style is lambda-calculus based (depicting the Tromp diagram), including Y-combinator earrings and a pendant depicting a lambda expression computing Graham's number; the other is quantum-computing circuits based on the author's physics-professor brother's research, such as a pendant that is a non-local controlled-NOT gate. Production uses a custom DSL the author wrote to describe the pieces, with an interpreter that produces CAD files, then 3D printing or lost-wax casting. Pieces are on consignment in a jewelry store, with museum-store placement in progress.
