Tianxiang Lu
Member of Backend Group
I'm Tianxiang Lu from USTC majored in Computer Science. Working on the backend, my mainly responsibility is to provide interfaces for the frontend to get data from database. It's a pleasant experience cooperating with all my teammates. Beyond my work, I also learned about other technologies. I built a mini website on my cloud server. I'm proud of it, though it's simple and crude. This is the first time I learned about how a website built and running on server. The feeling of putting my knowledge into practice is so good, especially working with my lovely teammates. Thanks iGEM for providing this platform.
Zhen Wang
Member of Backend Group
I am Zhen Wang from USTC majored in quantum computation. I built an interface between online server and local data. Local data were provided in file formats such as .txt. The contents of files were nucleotide and amino acid sequences. This interface transports files to an online server. Then the online server calculates, and offers a structure prediction of the nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Finally, the interface returns the result to the main program. It was an interesting experience working with teammates. Fortunately, I met these friendly and reliable partners. I will take this experience as my treasure.

Yiwen Chen
Leader of Art Group
I'm Yiwen Chen from USTC majored in Finance. I'm in the artwork group of the team, mainly responsible for the graphical aspect. Our projects need to create images that are suitable for expression and easy to understand in the platform interface, promotional videos,logo, posters, brochures etc. especially in the educational version of the platform. I am honored to be able to use some of my art skills to work on these. At the same time, participating in such a project that combines artificial intelligence with synthetic biology, which is less related to my major, has greatly expanded my horizon. This is also my first time to participate in a project with my seniors. Creating something from scratch with my partners gave me an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Thanks to my partners.
