Luxe Cabinet and Stone is a Chinese furniture wholesale company located in Seattle. The company has been putting efforts into promoting its products to its customers by making phone calls and sending emails, especially to Chinese customers. To help these Chinese customers more quickly access the companys product information, I decided to develop a mini program that runs on a famous social software called Wechat that Chinese people always use. This mini program specifically aims to help customers make appointments for store tours and view product galleries on their social software Wechat. The program is built within the Wechat Devtools where a lot of APIs are provided to realize the necessary features.Stephanie Cyrill

Fashion Mingle (FM) provides networking and educational opportunities to their members by connecting fashion professionals and students to the resources and services they need to grow their careers. Knowing the difficulty of breaking into the fashion industry as a young professional, FM aims to connect them to others in the industry by expanding their parent company into a student-focused platform, Student Mingle. Through the platform, students can connect with other students and professionals in the fashion industry, gain visibility in the fashion world, and boost their careers. To aid in the companys goals, in this project I will further build out Student Mingle and redesign the company's current UI to make it modern and engaging for users.Yitong Feng

CBRE is one of the largest commercial real estate companies that encompasses advisory, valuation, consultation, and other services. At CBRE, my task was to recommend improvements to CBREs Valuation and Advisory Services systems through user research. The project objective was user research support for the product, design, and engineering teams from discovery through delivery. The primary focus was on an internal work management product used by property appraisers and managers. This product has 3 features: Assignment Tracking, Capacity Management, and Route Optimization. Assignment Tracking helps users monitor current projects. Capacity Management helps users understand how much availability they have to take on new work. Route Optimization helps them plan how to conduct the next inspection. To achieve this, I conducted heuristic evaluations for the current systems, to identify inconsistencies in designs and user flows. The next portion was to integrate into the system, functions that benefit the users by offering a seamless end-to-end assignment tracking and route optimization flow. For this, I used generative qualitative interviews to identify workflows and nuances to be included in the designs.Nicole Inskeep

In this research, we create an XAI dashboard that predicts patients' length of stay in the ICU and provides key features that have a significant impact on LoS for specific patient cohorts and individual patients. Our results suggest that providing critical features in order to make clinical decisions can build the trust between doctors, patients, and AI. Our approach, based on a novel connection of clinical dashboard with explainable AI methods, discovers insight for helping clinicians that addresses emergent health conditions more effectively and reduces unnecessary procedures. Further, the logical user interfaces will be designed to facilitate the clinical decision support system.Jia-Jen Lee

With my field supervisor, I developed a data model for the description of creators represented in the Harry Ransom Centers Dean F. Echenberg War Poetry Collection using the HRC's Wikibase test instance. As a proof of concept, this model is intended to link creators, places, languages, conflicts, occupations, and works on the library catalog. Currently, the library catalog does not allow users to search the collection by demographic information of the authors. The eventual goal is to allow for such querying by connecting the Wikibase instance to the library catalog, thus allowing for richer and more powerful querying for researchers.Sophia Mosbe

Since 1901, the University of Texasand by extent, the Dolph Briscoe Center for American Historyhas had in their possession a collection of maps that previously belonged to Stephen F. Austin, often hailed as the Father of Texas. Many of these unique hand-drawn maps and land surveys were completed by Austin himself in the course of his work settling Texas in the 1820s and 1830s. The goal of this project is to shine a light on this historic collection through digitization and online availability, including the creation of web-based content that will hopefully increase researchers interest in the materials. Using a state-of-the-art overhead camera setup capable of photographing the largest and smallest maps in the Briscoe Centers archives, I created high-quality digital images of all 119 maps and land surveys, which included several pamphlets of Austins field notes that give insight into his land surveying process. Each image will be embedded with detailed metadata, which I prepared according to the standards in use at the Briscoe Center. The end result is a collection of digitized maps that will help minimize the handling of the fragile originals and expand their reach to all those interested in learning more about this significant era in Texas history.Miriam Rought
