About Nikolas "Niko" Di Caprio

During my early years in graduate school, a dear friend (Matthew D. Davidson) taught me that creating visualizations of your work and making them accessible/understandable to the general public will further science by strengthening communication and ideas. Taking this to heart, I decided to indulge in a free Cinema4D and Autodesk 3DS Max student licenses and explored the software (as I do with most programs handed to me) for scientific schematics for my own work. My first real "achievement" in this area was publishing my graphic art on the front cover of Advanced Biosystems, where my first manuscript was published with Dr. Leah Bellas at Temple University during my undergraduate studies. Since transitioning to my graduate studies with Dr. Jason Burdick, I have continued to hone my graphic design skills and apply them to my graduate school work and lab, where in August 2024 I transitioned to graphic design animation to dynamically capture my visions/experiments. It has been an amazing journey learning this skill and using it as a creative outlet from an otherwise logical graduate program.  Please enjoy my full collection and resources that I have been designing for over the past 5+ years.
