Hello! My name is Gloria Zhu and I'm a student at MIT studying computer science and design with a minor in comparative media studies.
I am interested in science and technology studies, creative computation, and tech for the public good. This summer, I'll be designing, coding, and thinking about interactive data visualization at Fathom.
When I'm not in a makerspace* or studio, I can be found drawing or playing indie video games.
