Researcher of the Week: Shannon Zik
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
How did you find your mentor for year research?
I took Organic Chemistry I, taught by Dr. Ptaszek, in the fall of my sophomore year. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and knew I wished to pursue a deeper understanding of the material than my biology major required. I knew that Dr. Ptaszek was involved in research, as his undergraduate assistants would periodically ask questions pertaining to their experiments while I was visiting during office hours. I wanted to be a part of his team, but did not feel qualified until after taking Orgo II. Near the end of my sophomore year and my completion of Chem352, I sent Dr. Ptaszek an email inquiring if he had any availability in his lab. Dr. Ptaszek and I met and discussed the area of research I would be pursuing: chlorin and porphyrin synthesis. That summer, Dr. Ptaszek added me to his team of undergraduate assistants.
Do you get course credit for this work? How much time do you put into it?
Yes, I receive academic credit. During the semester, in addition to my full course load and part time job, I generally dedicate 12-18 hours per week. The amount of time spent per day is depends on the experiment, or which part of the experiment I am executing, i.e., syntheses, purification, or characterization.
How did you hear about the Undergraduate Research Award (URA) program?
Dr. Ptaszek informed me of the URA program towards the end of my second semester of working for him. He sent me the information at the end of winter break and I began to work on the proposal at the start of following semester.
What academic background did you have before you applied for the URA?
I had just completed my first semester as a junior pursuing my B.S. in Biological Sciences.
Was the application difficult to do?
While the application was not difficult, it did require a significant amount of time, the reading of numerous research papers, many rough drafts, and considerable effort to maintain the two page constraint. Though ample time was provided to finish the proposal, I continued to make changes until the moment I submitted it.
How much did your mentor help you with the application?
After I wrote the first draft of my proposal, my mentor and I met twice to review and edit it prior to submission.
What has been the hardest part about your research?
Unexpected results! After weeks of synthesizing a compound, sometimes the final step will produce unexpected results such as insolubility, degradation of fluorescent properties, or a mix of products will supersede. Such outcomes provide opportunity to brainstorm about solutions, however it usually requires the synthesis of more starting material which could mean weeks before the proposed solution can be attempted at the final steps and a few more weeks before we find a successful solution.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
DO IT! Research is a fantastic way to develop your knowledge and understanding your field of interest. Additionally, it provides fundamental skills for your classes as well as your future endeavors. Do not be afraid to ask your professors if they have a position open in their lab. Also, do not be worried about knowing everything before you start, most of the techniques will be different than those in your basic lab classes and you will not be expected to know all of them. Ask lots of questions, it’s the only way to learn!

Textbook Adoption Due Dates for Winter and Spring 2013
Please submit textbook adoptions by October 19.
WINTER AND SPRING 2013 TEXTBOOK ADOPTIONS DUE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19th.
PLACING YOUR ORDER
You may place your order through campus mail, fax (410) 455-8629, internet at
http://bookstore.umbc.edu (click on Faculty Adoptions) or e-mail
textbook@umbc.edu. The adoption form is also attached to message for your convenience. Please, no adoptions by phone. Provide complete course information including section number(s) and complete book information including ISBN. Desk copy requests should be sent directly to the publisher. If you will not be using a textbook for your course, please submit an adoption stating “No Textbook Required.”
TEXTBOOK POSTING REQUIREMENTS
Board of Regents policy requires all textbook information to be posted online (via the Bookstore’s website) by December 1 for the Spring semester. Therefore, the University has instituted a deadline for Spring adoptions of November 24. However, we strongly advise that adoptions be submitted by October 19th to ensure sufficient processing time, to allow for substitutions when necessary and to secure used books from national wholesalers when they are most heavily stocked. [Faculty hired after this deadline should place their textbook adoption as
soon as possible.]
USED BOOKS
With the rising cost of textbooks, we begin to procure used books as soon as we receive your adoption. The Bookstore prides itself on the high volume of used text we provide our students. We order from eight national used book wholesalers, in addition to securing used books from our students during buyback. In order to pay students top dollar, we need to have your adoptions prior to buyback in December.
CUSTOM BUNDLED MATERIALS
On your adoption, please specify if you desire items bundled, along with the ISBN and the name and number of the publisher representative with whom you have worked in creating the package. Bear in mind that order fulfillment is slower and that bundled items have value only if all items are required. Otherwise, it may be beneficial to have them available for optional
purchase. Additionally, if software or other supplemental material is available for your text, please specify if it is required. [Please note that Board of Regents policy (adopted 2/13/09) states that “Faculty should order textbook bundles only if the supplements included with textbooks are necessary to the curriculum and instruction.”]

I am working on creating a device that assists the visually impaired in reading Braille.
How did you find your mentor for this project?
I searched the Department of Information Systems for a professor doing research in the area of assistive technologies and Human Centered Computing. I came across Dr. Shaun Kane, who has done much work in these areas.
How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?
I didn’t, Dr. Shaun Kane gave me a list of projects in his lab to pick from. I wasn’t able to decide at first, but the opportunity to create a novel device really excited me.
How much time did you put into it?
I spent two hours every Friday during the spring 2012 semester working on the proposal and literature review. I worked about five to eight hours a day Monday through Friday for my summer Research Fellowship.
What academic background did you have before you started?
I was a Mechanical Engineering major for a semester, then I switched to Information Systems for its interdisciplinary nature.
How much did your mentor help you with your research?
My mentor introduced me to the topic and potential directions for the research. I am doing all of the research as an independent study under his guidance.
What has been the hardest part about your research?
The most difficult part of my research is iterative prototyping. This is a cyclic process of designing, testing, analyzing, and refining a product or process.
What was the most unexpected thing?
There is no one unexpected thing. The process of design is always unexpected because design, like fashion, changes very rapidly and constantly. Design is always improving.
How does your research relate to your work in other classes?
As an Information Systems major, I learn to work with computer hardware, software people, and the design process. I get to take what I learned in class and apply it directly to a real world problem.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Research is a challenging yet rewarding way of exploring your interests. It is not for everyone. However, this should not dissuade you from attempting it, you might discover that you enjoy it and realize a passion of yours.
What are your career goals?
I aspire to go to graduate school and then work in the government in Network Security Administration.
