    <div class="html-content"><div>Meet Niara,</div><div>She is a <a href="http://mathstat.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Mathematics</a> major and an independent researcher. Besides conducting research, Niara is an advocate for the research process. Her advice to students new to research is to dive in, "<em>...don't be intimidated. The best way to learn is by doing.</em>" She did not have any experience with 3D printing prior to working at the PAD lab. Now, she has several publications and is teaching professionals how to 3D print in their field. She adds "<em>There are no limitations to what you can do.</em>"</div><div><br></div><div>The goal of her research is to use three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to empower therapists to create customizable and inexpensive assistive technology for patients. Therapists can use medical expertise to tailor adaptations to existing assistive technologies, but current efforts to customize assistive technology are limited to materials like tape, clay, Velcro, and foam padding. She plans to familiarize medical professionals with 3D printing to make highly specific modifications to assistive devices and provide them with software to make 3D models. </div><div><br></div><div>Read more about her research here…</div></div>

If research is in your future, Himadri recommends getting started in the process early on so that you have enough time to get involved in a lab, learn and discover if research is your passion. Her future plans are to pursue a career as a physician, possibly specializing in the field of Neurology.</p><p>Her research involves in examining stress-induced analgesia (SIA), the phenomenon in which exposure to intense stress suppresses the perception of pain. From an evolutionary perspective, SIA is part of the adaptive fight-or-flight response mediated by the sympathetic nervous system that enhances an individual’s ability to survive a crisis situation; pain suppression is a critical component of this response as it enables individuals to escape a threat even if they have sustained an injury.</p><p>Read more about her research here…</p></div>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>Meet Caitlin,</div><div>She is an <a href="http://asianstudies.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Asian Studies</a> major and an independent researcher. In the future, she plans to pursue a graduate degree in environmental studies. Her advice to future researchers is that you should be ready to dedicate much of your time to your topic. It may be cliché, but you have to eat, sleep, and breathe your topic. Your friends should be able to support you when you rant on and on and on about it. Most of all, you must love it. If you don’t enjoy your research, then you won’t want to push through any issues that presents themselves along the way.</div><div><br></div><div>Her research investigated the Buddhist practice of fangsheng; the process of releasing captive animals to obtain good karma. This implementation of fangsheng has introduced large quantities of non-native species to China’s environment and heavily influenced the likelihood of a non-native species becoming invasive, which has caused numerous problems to the ecological cycle. She will then analyze the impact of fangsheng and proposes solutions to resolve these issues.</div><div><br></div><div>Read more about her research here…</div></div>
