When did you join the Ronald E. McNair (REM) program?
I joined the McNair Scholars program my senior year of college (2012).

How did you find out about McNair?
I was actually going to the student services office to ask for help on my personal statement and with applying to graduate school. I ended up in the office of Dr. April Householder, the assistant director of the McNair Scholars program. She explained to me what the program is about and encouraged me to apply.

What have you gained from being a McNair scholar?
I have gained so much from being a McNair Scholar. The various workshops tailored to the scholars as well as the research course during the semester were a great start to getting me thinking like a scholar. This was followed by the Summer Research Institute fellowship, which was one of the most amazing experiences I had academically. I was able to work one-on-one with my mentor while being in a scholarly atmosphere the rest of the time.

What is your most recent independent research project?
My research is on foreign-born students and the age that they immigrated to the U.S. and how that has is correlated with their academic and non-academic barriers and supports.

How did you find your mentor for this project?
I searched on the psychology department website for the faculty list and their research. Going down the list I took note of several labs that were of similar interest as mine. I contacted and met with several professors and Dr. Maton’s research seemed to be most fitting for me.

How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?
I figured that doing research on something that I am passionate about or can relate to is the key to staying motivated in the research process. I am a foreign-born student who immigrated to the U.S. I experienced the barriers and supports that I am researching first hand.

How much time do you put into it?
I started working on my research project the beginning of my last semester at UMBC (Spring 2012). I will be working on it until the end of the McNair Summer Research Institute in July when I will be presenting at the University of Buffalo McNair Research Conference.

What academic background did you have before you started?
Since I started this research project my senior year, I pretty much had all of my major classes finished. Courses that helped me were Psychology 331 and 332, which focused on research methods and statistics.

How much did your mentor help you with your research?
Dr. Maton helped me a lot with my research project. I try to meet with him at least once a week just to make sure that I’m on track and to get any help that I need. From day one, Dr. Maton has been a dedicated mentor, guiding me along my research.

What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Definitely get involved in research as an undergraduate! UMBC offers a rare opportunity in having so many research programs and labs available for undergraduates. This is not the norm at other universities, so take advantage of it! The sooner that you get your foot in the door the more involved and excited you will become about your future.

What are your career goals?

I plan to apply to Ph.D. programs in clinical psychology. I am interested in topics such as immigration, minorities, and oppressed populations. I hope to use my knowledge and Ph.D. to make a difference in those communities.

How did you find your mentor for your research?
I was lucky and found my mentor and learned about the URA program by chance really. I was required to join an engineering professional society for one of my classes and was having difficulty with the UMBC IEEE website so I contacted Professor Fow-Sen Choa, who oversees the UMBC chapter. I explained I was a computer engineering major and as a professor of the department, he asked if I was interested in doing undergraduate research. We set up a meeting and discussed the different opportunities available.

How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?
Admittedly, when I went to meet with my mentor for the first time I didn't know what to expect. However, after hearing about the projects he was working on, including using lasers as part of brain controlled robotic arm, I couldn't resist finding out more about this research area. We are currently working on using cultured rat neurons for mid-IR optical stimulation and inhibition testing.

What academic background did you have before you started?
As an engineering major I had a fairly strong background in general math and science courses including physics, chemistry, calculus, and computer programming. However, I had no background whatsoever in photonics, which is now my area of research. This was okay though as my mentor as well as graduate students in the research group, were able to explain the basics so I could get a hands-on learning experience right away.

How much time do you put into it?
During the semester I try to put in 5-8 hours a week in order to complete about 70 hours of work per semester. Scheduling work hours is very flexible so I can accommodate my schedule of classes. I also do work during the summer and over winter break where I can put in more time without classes.

Was the application difficult to do?
The application is not long and is very straight forward. If you have some background in your research area, you will be in great shape and even if you do not, you can always get help from your mentor. That is, after all, what they are there for.

How much did your mentor help you with the application?
My mentor helped a lot with the application. As I had no background on the subject, he was very willing to offer other technical papers on the material, as well as help fill in any parts that I was unable to answer due to my lack of knowledge in the field of photonics and the finer details of the project.

What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Do not hesitate to get involved. If you have a particular subject or idea you want to explore, you should pursue it but even if you do not and just know you would like to get involved in some project speak with your advisor, professor's in your department, and the Shriver Center for opportunities that interest you. Even if you do not have a background in the field, as I did not, you should still investigate it as the professors on campus are very helpful in getting you up to speed and involved in work you enjoy. Remember, the idea is to investigate a subject or problem you are interested in, so you don't need to already be an expert coming into the game.

Part time paid student researcher needed to help out with laboratory leaf processing leaf samples and processing and organizing large data sets using spreadsheets, MATLAB and statistical software.  


This is a part/time project (20 hours/week, start date: ASAP, end date: May, 2013, negotiable) which will require the student to spend concentrated few hours a day at the NASA/GSFC facility at Greenbelt, MD. If the student has the ability she/he would be encouraged in the data analysis to develop statistical models relating the measurements. The student would also help out with other analysis and measurement activities that our group is doing. Please see attached an abstract describing the project, and let me know if you can help and/or need further information.
