Projects that deal with acquiring, processing, and exploring qualitative or quantitative information. Project goals can include automating manual workflows and developing novel acquisition/analysis workflows, information modeling/exploration tools, and information visualization tools.
Department Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Summary The principal investigator (PI) wanted to incorporate a feature from a predator-prey dynamics simulator written by a colleague for a recent project into a plant-pollinator dynamics simulator the PI developed for an earlier paper. The team was able to help the PI identify and overcome a critical design problem […]

Department Linguistics Summary The researcher wanted to use an online platform to run an interactive experiment with two subjects remotely. The experiment needed to teach both subjects the words of a new language and then allow the subjects to describe images to their partner using the new language in a web browser. The Research Software

Department Math Summary The lab needed data to refine and test their Circadian Rhythms Models, so our group created iPhone and Android apps that allowed users to donate their heart rate and step data and get an analysis back from the lab in return. The smartphone sends data to a server/database, and it is processed

Department Psychology Summary The lab conducts many studies on the same population of monkeys and collects all of their data in Excel Worksheets. This works well for analyzing individual studies, but they needed a system for tracking subjects across multiple studies to compare their performance at different tasks. To help with this we created a
Department Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology Summary A graduate student was doing a project that necessitated identification of individual cells and their nuclei in microscope fluorescence images and quantification of image characteristics within the cell/nuclei areas. With hundreds of cells per image, tens to hundreds of image layers per 3D exposure, and many exposures for

Department Political Science Summary The researchers had created a Qualtrics survey to probe the participant’s voting preferences. However, the way this information needed to be displayed and the data the researcher needed to collect was not possible in a standard survey. The Research Software Programming team was able to help create a custom information environment

Department Chemistry Summary The lab wanted to run experiments that involved taking spectroscopy measurements at a large number of intervals of movement of a delay line stage. This required running separate control programs for the spectroscope and the delay line, with a lab worker manually tending the experiment the entire time to trigger each delay
