I (Joseph T. Meyerowitz) am a graduate student in Biochemistry and
Molecular Biophysics at Caltech. I just graduated from Duke University with a dual major in Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering. My graduate studies are supported
by a NDSEG fellowship from the Army Research Office.
I am most interested in self-assembling systems, especially
biological and molecular ones, and the interplay between computation, biology, and physics. I am currently in a one-term rotation with Dr. Frances H. Arnold's lab working on directed evolution of proteins.
I am not the Joseph H. Meyerowitz from Baylor's psychiatry department in the 60s and 70s, and to the best of my knowledge am not related to him either.
My most recent project with {<I|P>} (the Inner Products Group)
is a touchsurface that uses surface microphones to acoustically locate
taps on a screen. These microphones, attached with suction cups, could be placed on any rigid surface you are projecting on quickly and easily.
Multiple people can use the touchsurface at once. Thus, it would be possible to dynamically set up a collaborative
surface with 30 seconds of sticking suction cups to the whiteboard.
See a brief video of it here on Youtube.
