Since I discovered this technique in the middle of 2022, I have not been able to stop weaving wire. It was the perfect marriage of my interest in shapes and my fingers' need to keep moving...

Below is a text I wrote about myself in the third person, like a queen.

Moira Chas is a professor of mathematics at Stony Brook University. She was born in Argentina in 1965. She discovered a passion for writing early in life, and a passion for mathematics a little later. She received her Licenciatura (something like a master's degree) from the Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina, and her Ph.D. from the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain. Shortly after completing her Ph.D., she travelled to the U.S. for a three-month work visit...and never left. She strongly believes in the benefits of teaching through interaction with students. In her work, she tries to find different representations of the concepts she is trying to understand. These representations come in the form of computer programs, pictures, knitted shapes, or wire sculptures. She also believes in communicating mathematics to a wider audience beyond her colleagues and students. She is a recipient of the Godfrey Teaching Excellence Award. She also won the Simons Center Science Playwriting Competition for her play "The Mathematical Visions of Alicia Boole.

She works in low-dimensional topology and is drawn to mathematics that can be expressed through images. Much of her research is rooted in finding and exploring mathematical conjectures with computers. Many of these computational experiments have been done in collaboration with undergraduate, graduate, and high school students. Together with Dennis Sullivan, she discovered and formulated "string topology".

She is working on a book about the remarkable life and work of the geometrician Alicia Boole Stott (1860-1940), who, with very little formal education, classified symmetrical four-dimensional objects and discovered concepts that we still use today.

Another branch of Chas's creative efforts is devoted to making mathematical art using the wire looping technique of American artist Ruth Asawa to bring such mathematical wonders as one-sided surfaces like Klein bottles and Boy's surface into the world of art.
