When you think of a physics professor, you probably don't immediately pair one with the famous paint splatterer Jackson Pollock. But after this video, you just might. Richard Taylor has been a professor in the UO physics department since 2009. He has worked in the USA, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and has published more than 250 papers. This includes eight papers in Nature and three in Science (if you're not a science geek, we gotta tell you -- that's a big deal!) In addition to his career in science, Richard is a trained painter and photographer. He has adopted an interdisciplinary approach to studying natural patterns called fractals. Richard has studied fractals in physics, psychology, physiology, geography, architecture and art.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
