I am an independent scholar from Caracas, Venezuela with a background in physics, geosciences, Asia-Pacific business, and the oil and gas industry. I have lived, studied and worked in the United States, China, Japan, and the Netherlands. I enjoy reading, teaching, and researching the history of science and technology.
I am the Principal Researcher at VES PROJECT, an independent research initiative I created in which I have been documenting and reconstructing the path of migrant STEM professionals in Venezuela. More than 30 in-depth profiles of STEM professionals have been created. On the teaching side, I am a lecturer in History of Science at the Faculty of Science of the Central University of Venezuela (UCV). I teach ‘History of Physics‘ and ‘Topics in the Cultural History of Science and Technology.’ I have been a Visiting Collaborator (2016-2018) at the Laboratory of History of Science and Technology, Center of Science Studies, Venezuelan Institute of Scientific Investigations (IVIC), Altos de Pipe, where I conducted the graduate seminar Special Topics in Social Studies of Science on the subject of: ‘ Science During the Enlightenment in Spain and Venezuela: The Case of Physics (1700-1813). I also write for Revista Persea, a publication created to promote the scientific culture in Latin America (for instance, see the series of articles under the umbrella tittle: La física en el siglo XVIII español).
MAIN CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
- The development of the Digital Historical Sounding (DHS) methodology to use Internet and social media as an aid for historical research.
- The portrayal of Venezuelan women in technological
- The profiles of European, Asian, and Latin American migrant STEM professionals into
- The profiles of the Venezuelan STEM migration in USA/Canada and
- The study of the Japan-Venezuela collaboration in science and
- Shedding light on the education of 19th-century Venezuelan scientist and engineer Vicente Marcano (1848-1891).

Rachael Z. DeLue is the Christopher Binyon Sarofim ’86 Professor in American Art in the Department of Art & Archaeology at Princeton University and is the Chair of the Department. At Princeton, she holds a joint appointment with Princeton’s Program in American Studies. Prof. DeLue specializes in the history of American and transatlantic art and visual culture with particular focus on intersections among art, science, and the history and theory of knowledge and on the transnational and transcultural formation of “America” as a complex geography, identity, and idea. She serves as the editor-in-chief of the Terra Foundation Essays and she edited Picturing (2016), the first volume in the series. She has also published George Inness and the Science of Landscape (2004), Landscape Theory (2008, co-edited with James Elkins), and Arthur Dove: Always Connect (2016). Other recent publications consider the work of the modern artist Romare Bearden, Spike Lee’s film Bamboozled, shoreline landscapes as symbols of empire, natural history in the context of settler colonialism, and the construction of Native America in 18th- and 19th-century archaeology and ethnography. Prof. DeLue is currently working on a book about impossible images—pictures of entities and phenomena that should be unpicturable because they are unseeable or ungraspable, beyond the limits of perception or comprehension. She is also researching a study of Darwin’s diagram, the only illustration to appear in On the Origins of Species when it was published in 1859. At Princeton, she teaches a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses on American culture, history, and identity and on the intersection between the history of art and the history of science.

Gods, Kings, and Revolutions: Art in Europe, 1750–1850
Brooklyn College, CUNY (Spring 2019)
Designed and taught an undergraduate course on the first half of the nineteenth-century in Europe. Based around the major themes of Neoclassicism and Romanticism with special topics on colonialism, gender, and the influence of the natural sciences on the visual arts.
From Revolution to Modernity: Art in France 1850–1900
Brooklyn College, CUNY (Fall 2018)
Designed and taught an undergraduate course that examined the major themes of the nineteenth-century with a focus on France. We began by looking back at the role of academies before and after the revolution and moved forward into the development of Realism through Impressionism and Post-impressionism. Themes included the development of the modern urban sphere, travel, world’s fairs, and cross-cultural connections.
Smarthistory Media Workshop (Summer 2018)
Funded by the Mellon Foundation and Smarthistory, this workshop brought educators and museum professionals together for an intense tutorial on short, educational videos geared towards teaching art history. Over the course of several days, we learned how to use various software, edited sound and video, and covered issues of image rights.
