Work has been done to emphasize the importances of combining heterogenous data sources to build gene networks to infer function and interactions between these elements. Such work was completed for Drosophila melanogaster , and created the Indigene global functional gene network. The next step was to investigate whether or not the currently constructed global network could be modified or "retooled" to focus on specific biological processes, in our case protein secretion. By implementing a rule set that excluded data that had low information contribution with respect to protein secretion function predictions, we determined that this is infact possible. The global gene network can be retooled towards creating "boutique" networks.

An informal meeting with my advisers review literature covering predicting disease genes and disease components from coexpression data
I was an Assistant Instructor for the class Social Informatics, these are slides from a lecture I gave about personas in MMORPGs.
For a database design course, we had to develop business rules and construct a database in Microsoft Access. This presentation outlines the structure of our database and covers some information from our specification.
For a course, Human-Robot-Interaction, graduate students had to lead discussion for a class. Here are some visual aids that I utilized to direct the class in discussions about anthropomorphism in robots.
