Analysis of T cell Movement within Lymph Nodes
T cells are lymphocytes that serve an important role in the immune system. The T cells we analyze originate from the lymph nodes of mice. The data comes from the University of New Mexico, where two-photon microscopy was used to record time and three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates of T cell locations. We computed the speed, turning angle, and slopes from the squared displacement of T cell tracks to create distributions. Distributions illustrate the motion type (e.g. Brownian vs ballistic) and the speeds or angles that occur most frequently. We also computed p-values when comparing different T cell movies to quantify differences in T cell speeds.

Mathematics and Students Within the Classroom
To gather data about student's math capabilities in and outside of class and create an analysis to see where students are and if there 'should' be a way to better help students in and outside the classroom in regards to mathematics.
