Center for Collaboration and Commercialization (C3) Touch Screen Application
TOUCHSCREEN APPLICATION
Collaborated with business development staff and Ideum programmers to develop a modern, engaging, memorable multi-touch museum grade exhibit located at Sandia’s C3 office in the Lobo Rainforest Building. The space is modeled after the rainforest– a human ecosystem is like a rainforest in which human creativity, business acumen, scientific discovery, investment capital, and other elements come together in a special recipe that nurtures budding ideas.
The unique touch screen application highlights C3s program and services; Sandia’s user facilities/map, interactive 3D tours; various partnership mechanisms; recent success stories, R&D100 awards; and access to Sandia’s IP library, visual patent search, and Lab Expertise. This new tool will enable staff 1) to quickly tell the Sandia story 2) engage visitors in new an interesting ways and 3) showcase the people, facilities, and IP that many people do not have access to without visiting the lab.

Student Intern Videos
In collaboration with videographers and editors we developed a series of student highlight videos which focus on nine student interns from key academic alliance institutions (GT, UNM, UT, Illinois, and Purdue) all conducting key research at the laboratory. Collaborating with our video services department I led the project from concept to completion by selecting students, conducting pre-interviews, creating questionnaires, reviewing scripts, and editing of the final product.
