Researcher of the Week: Anna Feerick
“Researching outside my field has cultivated my skills!"
Anna Feerick (’20) is earning a B.S. in Chemistry, with a minor in Environmental Science. She is a URA Scholar and a Merit Scholar.
Title of your research project:
Spatiotemporal Detection of Diverse Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Chesapeake Bay Water, Sediment, and Oysters
Describe your project:
My project is on detecting contaminants of emerging concern, which are chemicals that have been recently detected, or are only persistent at virtually insignificant levels. The focus is the Chesapeake Bay, specifically its water, oysters, and sediment.
Who is your mentor for your project?:
My mentor is Dr. Lee Blaney in the Chemical, Biochemical, and Environmental Engineering department. I got connected though my advisor Dr. Tara Carpenter when she realized that the research I wanted to focus on was not available through the current chemistry research opportunities at UMBC. Dr. Blaney’s lab focuses on environmental and chemical engineering research, which is what I hope to go to graduate school for.
How did you become interested in this project?:
I became interested through reading the posters and papers that were previously submitted about this project. The level of detection that could be achieved of these minuet chemicals amazed me, and the direct connection to the environment I lived in made the project feel real.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?:
The hardest thing about my research is the learning curve I faced when entering a chemical engineering lab. As the first chemistry major to work in Dr. Blaney’s lab, I felt slightly overwhelmed with what I was expected to accomplish. The people in the lab made the transition enjoyable and were always willing to teach me anything I didn’t know.
What has been the most rewarding part?:
The most rewarding part has been becoming an expert in a subject I would have never been able to touch if I stayed within the chemistry field while an undergrad. Researching outside of my field has given me so many skills I would have never had the chance to cultivate otherwise.
How will you disseminate your research?:
I am presenting my research in poster form at URCAD, the Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciences, and at the AAAS conference.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?:
My advice is to look outside your major for research. There are so many opportunities that are available to you if you are willing to step outside the box and learn a new subject from scratch.
What are your career goals?:
I plan on entering industry for 1-3 years, and then apply to graduate schools to gain a graduate degree in environmental chemistry, environmental engineering, or a related field.

Researcher of the Week: Rebekah Kempske
"Expand your knowledge beyond the classroom"
Rebekah Kempske is a Mechanical Engineering major with a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation who will graduate in May, 2019.
List any Scholars/Honors programs you are a part of: Center for Women in Technology (CWIT); Honors College; Tau Beta Pi
Title of your research project: Developing A Binder for Flexible Thermoelectric Generators
Describe your project: I am part of a team that is working on developing a binder for printing thermoelectric elements. These thermoelectric elements are a component of a type of flexible energy harvesting device called a thermoelectric generator.
Who is your mentor(s) for your project? Dr. Deepa Madan, Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Madan was my professor for ENME 301, Structure and Properties of Engineering Materials. During the class, she mentioned her research on thermoelectric materials. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and wanted to gain hands-on experience with the topic. Dr. Madan is also expanding
the opportunities available to undergraduates in her lab, so it was perfect timing.
How did you become interested in this project? Flexible thermoelectric generators were something I was not familiar with but sounded very
interesting. These devices can convert waste heat to useful energy and can be used as long lasting power supply for Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable devices. As I learned more and more about thermoelectric generators, my interests continued to grow, and I knew this was research I definitely could see myself being part of.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher? Even though I took Engineering Materials the semester before I began my research, there was still a great deal of information and lab techniques I did not know and needed to learn. There
was a learning curve, but through reading papers and a lot of practice, I was able to quickly get up to speed and become a contributing member of the team.
What has been the most rewarding part? The most rewarding part has been having hands-on experience with topics I learned in class and having the opportunity to apply and expand my knowledge.
How will you disseminate your research? I plan to present my research at URCAD in the Spring.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? Try to get involved in research as early as possible! I did not start my research experience until Spring of my Junior year, and I wish I would have started sooner. Also, do not be afraid to try something out! Even if you are not very knowledgeable about a particular subject area, you learn a lot while you are conducting research and everyone is always willing to help you.
What are your career goals? I would like to obtain a master’s degree in design engineering and then work in industry as a product design engineer. I am also applying to several prestigious scholarships, both in the U.S., and abroad.

Researcher of the Week: Ben Hyatt
"The time is now to start summer research plans"
Ben Hyatt is a mathematics major with minors in physics and philosophy, who will graduate in 2021. He is also a Honors College scholar.
Title of your research project:
Characterizing and Navigating Small Bodies with Imaging Data
Describe your project:
My project focused on the analysis of a variety of bodies in our solar system – including moons, asteroids, comets, and even entire planets – using an aggregate of image and altimetry data taken from a multitude of spacecraft on several NASA missions and one JAXA mission. The goal in doing so was to create highly accurate shape models of the bodies, allowing scientists to theorize about the geological development of the bodies, and/or to aid future navigational tasks when coming in contact with the bodies’ surfaces.
Who is your mentor for your project?
My mentor is Dr. Carolyn M. Ernst, a Planetary Scientist in the Space Exploration Sector (SES) at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Fulton, MD.
How did you find your mentor? Why did you choose them?
I first met my mentor as a high school student, applying through APL’s “ASPIRE” program. Funnily enough, my mentor was not the scientist who first interviewed me, but somehow, my name and resume ended up on her desk, and she flat-out offered me the position before meeting me. Of course, I accepted, although I barely knew what I would be working on (beyond the general scope of space exploration). After getting to know her and the project, I was excited, and motivated to find a connection between my mentor’s experience in planetary science and my passion for applied mathematics. Quite luckily, things worked out in that respect.
How did you become interested in this project?
I have always bought into the idea that space is the final frontier, and that the next several generations of mankind will continue to make heavy strides in support of space travel. While there are many factors that go into making such a quest a reality, I was confident that with my plans to study math and physics, I could somehow make a relevant impact. This project was not the angle I first envisioned entering the industry, specifically because the study of rocky bodies’ topography can be most easily appreciated from a geo-physical perspective, not an abstract mathematical one. Nevertheless, over the past two years with my mentor, I have become more aware of the math at work in the background (embedded in copious amounts of code), and discovering this relevancy more than kept my interest.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?
The sheer amount of tracking, organization, and reiteration of data is by far the biggest paradigm shift that I went through. Specifically, I would often work through lists of thousands of images of the bodies, both to assess image quality/content and to figure out the next steps in their processing. There is a big jump both in effort and complexity between the clichéd three trials in an experiment-based class and the real-life truck-load of data that is acquired over the course of a mission in space. However, I found it beneficial to engage in the routine analytical tasks; it is great practice to take advantage of a massive quantity of data by looking for patterns and deviations from the norm. Of course, I would wager that this principle applies in more areas than just data analysis.
What has been the most rewarding part?
Beyond the fact that I got way closer to actual space exploration missions than I ever dreamt of, the biggest reward of my work was succeeding with the challenge of applying my work to my area of study. I think that you have to be fairly lucky to get a job or internship that precisely lines up with your research interests, so whatever you end up doing, finding some connection is important. In my case, by having long and detailed conversations with my mentor (communication is crucial), we found mutually beneficial tasks that assisted her goals in planetary science and mine in applied mathematics. Most recently, I have been reading through abstracts that describe the linear algebra and calculus that is going on behind the scenes whilst I do analysis from the planetary science perspective. It is incredibly refreshing to be able to appreciate my work on multiple levels.
How will you disseminate your research?
On two previous occasions, I have given presentations to other interns and coworkers at APL about my research. In addition, after their completion, the projects that I have worked on will be presented at various conferences in the space community over the next few years, and my name will be listed on the abstracts as a contributor to the studies. Some of the first projects that I worked on that have since been concluded have been published in various journals. I hope to continue to tell people about my work, and as I continue to do more research, I am interested in participating in URCAD as well!
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
It’s never the wrong time to apply! Many of the scientists that I worked for at APL always dreaded the end of the summer season, when the majority of the interns would predictably return back to their college routines. So clearly, I’d say that if you can fit the time into your schedule, there will be good job availability in many fields during the Fall through Spring timespan. On the flipside, it’s always great to start thinking about next summer early: this is when most other college students will be aiming to find their next opportunities.
What are your career goals?
Once I graduate from UMBC, I am looking to immediately begin working towards a Ph.D. in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. I would like to diversify my research before graduating though, so that I can have a clearer picture about what exactly I want to research. I am considering looking for future employment with NASA, because my exposure to the industry has been positive, but I am also interested in seeing what other opportunities are available. Mathematics has a deceivingly broad range of applications, and I’ve only uncovered a small fraction of them so far.

Title of your research project:
Searching for Gamma-Ray Emission from Black Hole Jets
Describe your project:
My research currently entails assessing the level of gamma-ray emission coming from the relativistic jets of ionized plasma ejected from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), which host a supermassive black hole at their centers. This involves using the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope operated by NASA to generate what are called ‘Light Curves’, which measure the brightness over time of the jet. The big question is why these jets produce X-ray wavelength light, and confirming whether or not they produce Gamma-ray light as well allows us to determine between two different theories about the X-ray light origin.
Who is your mentor(s) for your project?
My mentors for this project are Assistant Professor Dr. Eileen T. Meyer of the Physics Department at UMBC and her graduate student Peter Breiding, who will soon be beginning his Postdoctoral Fellow position at West Virginia University. I had applied for a research assistant position that Dr. Meyer had open in her group during my sophomore year, and I was humbled to have been chosen by her to begin this project, and have subsequently become a better scientist and person because of this opportunity. Ever since I had a conversation with her and Peter when I was first starting out, I had immediately developed an interest in learning more about Gamma-Ray Astronomy since I knew so little at the time. They have both constantly pushed me to be the most successful researcher that I can be by encouraging me to ask valuable questions and having fun while I perform this research, as well as offering an invaluable amount of advice at every stage of the data analysis process and encouraging me to present my findings!
How did you become interested in this project?
I have been interested in Astronomy and Astrophysics from a young age and have always pondered about what types of marvelous phenomena occur beyond Earth and our solar system, so being involved in this project was natural for me. I already had considerable coding experience before starting this project, which has proven to be a major strength of mine since virtually all of my work involves using some variant of a high level programming language (Python, Perl, R, etc.).
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?
The most challenging part about my project so far has been understanding the overwhelming amount of theory associated with Radio-Loud AGN and Black Hole Jets, since all of these concepts are typically contained within graduate level textbooks, which is far beyond what I would be expected to know at the undergraduate level. Because of this deficiency of mine, I have since devoted considerable time to reading countless Astrophysical publications and graduate texts ahead of time to progress my knowledge of these subjects, which has been an eye-opening and fun experience!
What has been the most rewarding part?
I would say that the most rewarding portion of my project so far has been the level at which people have been appreciative of what I have been able to accomplish so far and will accomplish in the future. The amount of data that I have been able to analyze so far has been massive, and the Light Curve Analysis in particular can be very computationally intensive. As a result, it can be intimidating to choose which specific results to include in a publication or presentation, so being encouraged to share my findings with the rest of the scientific community has been a very reassuring feeling.
How will you disseminate your research?
I will be presenting my research at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in January of 2019 in Seattle, Washington, as well as at URCAD in April. I will also be a coauthor of a publication that our research group plans to publish over the upcoming year in the Astrophysical Journal, which implements my recent findings.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Have a clear goal of what topic you would like to explore and what you want to achieve in the long term, and have the ability to adapt to uncomfortable situations. Scientific research is all about presenting your findings in a concise and orderly matter, while at the same time being able to accept and respond to impromptu criticism. Therefore, it is imperative that you are able to devote time to becoming as much of an expert in your particular field as possible, while at the same time developing a broader knowledge of more abstract topics should the time come that you are questioned by experts.
What are your career goals?
After obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, I plan on pursuing graduate studies up to a Ph.D. in Astrophysics. I intend to continue conducting research on events associated with High Energy Astrophysics, while potentially expanding my knowledge more broadly to fields like General Relativity and Astroparticle Physics. Some topics which I am considering studying at a high level include exotic phenomena such as AGN, Tidal Disruption Events, Neutron Stars, Pulsars, and Gamma-Ray Bursts (just to name a few!).
