Projects estimated to be greater than 100 hours of work.
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 Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology Summary The principal investigator (PI) wanted to be able to surround a mouse with a 4-walled display of synchronized striped patterns for behavioral experiments, and to sync the history of these displays with her neural and video recording system. The Research Software Programming team developed a MATLAB program to

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 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
