Welcome to my wiki! I am a first-year PhD student at Tufts University studying Human-Computer Interaction. My research focuses on how next-generation interaction techniques can support research through enhanced brainstorming and within-group collaboration. My role is as student mentor to the Wellesley students on the development and engineering of multi-touch and tangible interaction software and tools, lead by Dr. Orit Shaer of the Wellesley College HCI laboratory and Dr. Douglas Densmore of the SynBio laboratory at Boston University.

Bootcamp
05.31 - 06.03 : This is week 1 of our work towards the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition in synthetic biology. We have a lot of excitement, but a lack of experience. Thus the BU team leaders have put together a bio bootcamp to take everyone bio 101, software support, and outreach opportunities in three days.
Technology Tour
Tuesday, we welcomed our three newest members - Kelsey, Casey, and Kathy - to the HCI laboratory with a tour of the technology and tools. New students and current iPhone programmers worked on "Hello World", Microsoft Surface style. Kathy, our resident bio-enthusiast and expert, started a survey of state-of-the-art genomics tools and molecular infographics.
Bio Basics
Wednesday began the BU-Wellesley iGEM bootcamp. For the next three days, we received a year's dose of biology basics well organized and delivered by our wet lab leader, Traci Haddock. Primers, permutations, invertase and in vitro - we covered the basics to catch the comp team students (including me) up to speed on the terminology, experiments, and tools (both physical and digital) employed by synthetic biologists.
