Ion Mihailescu has focused his research on the historical development of scientific visualization and graphical methods in the physical sciences. After earning his B.A. in History, Mathematics, and Physics from Columbia University in 2010, he pursued his doctoral studies at Harvard University's Department of the History of Science. His dissertation, "Graphical: The History of a Category," completed in 2018, examined the evolution of diagrammatic representations in 19th-century physical sciences. During his time at Harvard, he contributed significantly to science education as a Content Developer for the EMC2x course and served as Head Teaching Fellow for The Einstein Revolution. His interdisciplinary background in history, mathematics, and physics has informed his unique perspective on how visual representations have shaped scientific understanding and communication throughout history
