Developing technology
Along with being an artist and journalist, he has taught himself mathematics and physics and developed his own lenses, including one for a microscope that was used to photograph the first images of human eggs in an in vitro fertilization program. Another lens was used for the endoscope that can photograph the fetus from outside the amniotic sack. The images resulting from this became cover stories for Life Magazine.
Alexander’s personal art created by computer generated imaging
Computer generated imaging
In 1989 Mr. Tsiaras realized the potential of computer generated imaging and learned UNIX , then C and C++ to write his own programs transferring his knowledge of light moving through physical space to light moving through tissue in virtual space. He revisited his early work on Greek funerary images with the use of MRI technology.
He was offered an adjunct professorship at both Brown and Yale University Medical schools. Working with Yale he received funding from NASA to write algorithms for virtual surgery, so that astronauts could be cut in robotics pods for deep space flights.
