Hello! I’m Peggy, a researcher (currently at Fluid Interfaces), musician, and community builder exploring how neuroscience, technology, and the arts can inspire more connection and belonging in the world. Formally, I study Computational Neuroscience and History of Art and Architecture at Harvard, and am deeply committed to building cross-disciplinary bridges between different ways of conceptualizing creativity; I cofounded and co-lead Conflux—Harvard’s first undergraduate art tech student organization—and serve as Academic Chair of Mind Brain Behavior Society, the tech liaison for the Harvard College Opera, and a science, technology, and society (STS) undergraduate fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School. Informally, I am striving to design and build a beautiful symbiosis in the way we affect each other and our environment. In HTGAA, I aim to cultivate the relationship between how we genetically and aesthetically express and engage with the world by taking my passion for designing inclusive cultures to a new biological mediums.
A note on organization: all homeworks and labs are within the gallery card labeled by week, even if the lab had nothing to do with the topic of the homework! (e.g. week 3 contains both the homework on protein design and the lab on Opentrons design, week 5 was the bioproduction lab though week 4 was the bioproduction homework)
