Summary​

The LSA Herbarium curates and maintains a comprehensive database collection of known vascular plant species growing wild in Michigan, based on the Field Manual of Michigan Flora. The original Michigan Flora website serves as an “evolving illustrated companion to the Field Manual, presenting photographs of the species and their diagnostic features, and build on the foundation of the Field Manual by incorporating updates and new discoveries.” The original website has become quite dated, however, and increasingly difficult to use, update, maintain, and secure. The Research Software Programming team worked closely with Michigan Flora curators to design and develop an all new Michigan Flora website from the ground up.

Summary​

The lab needed data to refine and test their Circadian Rhythms Models, so our group created iPhone and Android apps that allowed users to donate their heart rate and step data and get an analysis back from the lab in return. The smartphone sends data to a server/database, and it is processed by multiple algorithms, some of which generate reports for the users.
