Fall 2005 Bioinformatics Research Michael Devanandan
Michael helped develop improvements and enhancements to a sequence comparisons algorithm, which enabled the inter-comparison of every protein in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) rather than a smaller subset. He also helped develop software to divide and schedule computational experiments on multiple servers, which allowed us to better manage our computational resources. Michael learned the fundamentals of sequence comparison and clustering algorithms (3 credits).
Fall 2005 Advanced Web Design Kelly Morgan
Kelly helped redesigned Siena College's academic affairs website by collecting requirements and specifications from the VPAA’s office, organizing over 300 pages of content into a central hierarchy, designing prototype templates, and implementing PHP-driven scripts for dynamically generating pages. Kelly studied fundamental web technologies including XHTML, PHP, and CSS (3 credits).
Spring 2005 Advanced Web Design & Digital Media Diana Mastrodomenico, Michael Quinn
Michael and Diana studied the World Wide Web as a medium for presenting interactive media and digital art. They researched software used in the field of digital media and graphics, including Macromedia Fireworks and Flash. They studied the principles of human computer interaction and its relevance to website design and digital media (3 credits each).
Spring 2004 Predicting Protein Structure Dan
Schuldt
Dan helped prepare large-scale machine learning experiments to help predict the secondary structure of protein sequences. Dan wrote several programs to help automate computational experiments and he conducted several bench-mark experiments to test the limits of our software. Dan learned fundamentals about protein structure and prediction algorithms (3 credits).
Fall 2003 Machine Learning & Bioinformatics Nick Sitterly, Kevin Johnson
Kevin and Nick studied Support Vector Machines (SVMs), which are learning machines that can perform classification and pattern recognition. Together, they applied SVMs to predict the secondary structure of protein sequences taken from the Protein Data Bank (PBD).
