Kimberly Chang | Wellesley College '12Kimberly graduated from Wellesley College last semester with a degree in Media Arts and Sciences and Japanese. She is interested in the intersection between art, media, popular culture and the potential for art to influence and connect people. In her free time, she is probably either drawing, painting or hanging out on twitter. |

Kathy Liu | Wellesley College '13Kathy is a rising Wellesley senior biology major. She is interested in exploring the interactions between HCI and synthetic biology. This summer, she focused on implementing the backend design for the MoClo planner, as well as focusing on human practices issues in iGEM. She also hopes to develop and implement the PLOTBox, as well as contributing a biologist's mindset to software design. This is her second year in iGEM and the HCI lab. |

Wendy Xu | Wellesley College '13Wendy approaches HCI from the user's perspective, with an artist's eye, and with a background in Neuroscience. She wants to define naturalistic ubiquitous interactions with technology starting with multiouch and gesture sensing platforms. Her courseload has included Advanced Video Production, Data Structures, Virtual Form: Maya, Graphic Design and New Media theory. |

Linda Ding | Wellesley College '14Linda plays Ultimate Frisbee and loves a strawberries and creme frap! |
 |
Kara Lu | Wellesley College '14Kara is a junior Biology major at Wellesley College. While she has focused on the natural sciences so far, she's very excited about branching out into Computer Science and exploring its role in multidiscipline applications. |
 |
Nicole Francisco | Wellesley College '14Nicole is majoring in Computer Science and Economics. She is interested in enhancing the user's experience and make the interaction between them and emerging interfaces more intuitive. She is looking forward to developing applications on new platforms. |
 |
Veronica Lin | Wellesley College '15Veronica is a rising sophomore at Wellesley College studying Computer Science and Economics. She enjoys CS because it is a worthwhile challenge that enhances her programming skills, creativity, and ability to collaborate with others. This is her first year working in the Human Computer Interaction Lab at Wellesley College. |
 |
Madeleine Barowsky | Framingham High School '14Madeleine is a currently a rising junior at Framingham High School. Working at the Wellesley College HCI lab. She loves programming because she likes problem-solving, especially in creative ways. |
