Bianca Morris is a UI-focused software engineer and HCI researcher with a decade of experience building responsive, user-centered web applications and production-ready frontends for biomedical and research platforms. Currently a Research Assistant at UPenn’s HCI Lab, she designs and implements API-driven, full-stack systems for longitudinal AI audits while contributing to community-facing dashboards using Next.js and TypeScript. Previously a senior front-end engineer at Harvard Medical School, she led UI work across genomic data platforms, improved performance and deployment workflows, and maintained an open-source react-workflow-viz package. A Wellesley graduate with advanced studies at Harvard Extension and UPenn SEAS, she pairs design sensibility with rigorous engineering—often translating complex clinical and research needs into intuitive, testable interfaces. Unexpectedly versatile, she’s handled everything from Celery-driven async pipelines to Electron-based desktop upload tools, making her a bridge between UX, research, and scalable production systems.
