2019-2020 Cohort
Hi, my name is Pilot Irwin, and I’m a senior CAMS major from New York City. In addition to my work in Cinema and Media Studies, I also have a strong interest in Computer Science and Economics, and I’m fascinated by the ways STEM disciplines and the humanities can not only intersect but inspire each other. As the Ethics intern, I will be responsible for examining how we interact with digital technology and how the construction of digital systems affects people’s lives, both intentionally and accidentally (2019-2020).
Hi! My name is Shiyue Zhang. I’m a sophomore and my intended major is computer science and statistics. I am excited about this work because I’ll be able to have hands-on experience about front-end development and learn new technologies. I also wish to learn more on how technology have an impact on society and our life. I have experience in working with data and developing web page using tools like JavaScript and Flask.
My name is Chris Padilla. I am a senior computer science and philosophy major, and I am the back-end digital scholarship intern this year! I am interested in this work because I want to learn more about system administration and web design. I also want to learn more about making systems user-friendly, functional, and secure. My most relevant experience would be my work creating a SQL driven scheduling application for equine facilities, that I have been working on since last December.
My name is Matt Thill, and I’m a senior statistics major. This year I will be working as a digital scholarship intern on the accessibility side. I am excited to learn more about the workflow involved with building and managing websites and to think critically about how to assure everyone who interacts with our works has a smooth experience. I’m also looking forward to learning more about digital scholarship and about the ways in which new technology is being used in digital humanities (2019-2020.)

Hi! My name is Alec Wang. I am a prospective math major with a major interest in computer science. I’m thrilled to continue being part of the digital scholarship internship program for another year as the back-end web developer on the team. I’m looking to make good use of my experience from last year by applying it to new plugin development projects. Digital humanities excites me because we can take large quantities of data already at our disposal and draw fascinating conclusions from it (2018-19).
My name is Steph Herbers and I am a Computer Science major in the class of 2020. I am excited to join the team as the Front-End Web Developer and share my passion for learning new technologies and methods for web design!
