Michigan Biological Software Team

I'm Josh Abramson, one of the team's co-founders and the current president. Hailing from West Bloomfield, I've made a living studying Biology, Mathematics, and Chemical Physics at the University of Michigan. Before leading the software team, I was on the Michigan lab team for 4 years as a member and 1 year as an advisor. Outside of iGEM, I enjoy tree climbing, playing pranks on my professors, and computer games.

Hi, my name is Kaitlin Dalman. I am in my second year at the University of Michigan. I am planning to major in biopsychology, cognition, and neuroscience (BCN). I am from Grosse Pointe, Michigan. I enjoy running, shopping, and watching movies. My favorite food is grapefruit, and I have one pet, a dog named Skip.

Hi, my name is Hy Doan and I am from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am junior studying Computer Science.In my free time, I enjoy playing/listening to jazz, exercising, and destroying friendships while playing Settlers of Catan (or any other board game). You can never go wrong with apple pie. Along with school, I am in Groove Performance Group, a face melting, awesome percussion group, and I volunteer with Ready Set Start, teaching music workshops. The more evil looking the cat, the more I like it.

I am Graham, a senior at U of M, studying Molecular Biology and Computer Science. I enjoy fishing, hiking, and playing settlers of Catan. I wanted ProtoCat to be called ProtoDog but that wouldn't make any sense.

Hi, my name is Max Gittelman. I am a Junior studying Computer Science at U of M. I enjoy eating pizza at team meetings and allowing my younger twin brother to copy whatever I do. I fortunately am a dog person and highly recommended the name “Protodog” but the name was quickly struck down due to its non puniness. Also Graham steals jokes.

Hi, my name is Zachary Gittelman and I am a Junior studying Computer Science Engineering. I am from Miami, Florida and my interest in biotech has lead me to join the BioSoft team. Additionally, I am on the Michigan Autonomous Aerial Vehicles team and I enjoy learning about AI, running, skiing, and mimicking my twin Max. And remember, if you’re not the first cat, you’re the last cat.

Hello, I’m Ali Turfah. I am a sophomore from Dearborn Heights, Michigan, and plan to major in a form of Engineering. In my spare time, I enjoy designing as well as building costumes, playing video games, and studying languages, both spoken and computer. I have two cats, so I’m really excited about the ProtoCat designs.

I am Mary Weber, a junior from East Lansing, Michigan majoring in Informatics, with a concentration in life-science. I am interested in data analysis, particularly in regards to its role in improving the efficiency and accuracy of health systems. Outside of school, I love spending time outdoors and am a frequent visitor to the Arboretum and the Kerrytown Farmer’s Market.

Hi, I'm Katherine Williams. I am a sophomore in computer science from Hudsonville, MI. Besides the iGEM team, I am in a game development club called WolverineSoft and the Harry Potter Alliance at the University of Michigan. I enjoy playing piano and reading in my free time.
