Projects
ARKHumanity
We develop innovative technology for the real time detection of social media messages that are indicative of suicidal thinking and a platform for triage and outreach. This startup team includes ASU students and community members fromed at Hack4Humanity.
Interactive Biology lab
Led by an interdisciplinary team of biologists, computer scientists, and human computer interaction researchers, this work envisions new systems to scaffold non-professional participation in biology.
DNArt- Creative Bioinformatics
DNArt is a multidisciplinary project that is taking an inspiration from functional genomics to create a new type of graphic representation and artwork. DNArt mimics the way that genes encode the proteins that make each organism and species unique.
Environmental Biotech
The use of organic systems and living organisms to solve problems, develop solutions, or create products.
Futuristic Interface
Technology and conceptual designs that are inspired by Sci-fi movies and futurisitic setting.
Interactive Arts
The arts that involve audiences in a way that allows the arts to evolve and create new experiences for the audiences.
Architecture Design
In order to create a sustainable living, human need to blend art, science, and engineering together to design a big crazy idea called "home"
Game Development
Play is a natural behavior of highly developed animal, so human can use games for so many purpose - to educate, simulate, and entertain.
Modern Traditions
The only way that we can preserve our culutre is to make it alive. The only way that we can make the culture alive is to let it evolve.
