Researcher of the Week: Uvonne Andoh
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
What research have you been doing this summer?
I have been learning fundamentals of Assistive Technology and getting experience working with older adults. I have been learning how to design and build 3D prototypes for a 3D printer to explore the possibility of older adults building their own assistive technologies.
How did you find out about this opportunity? Was there a formal application process?
Last semester I was in an independent studies class doing research with my professor and advisor, Ms. Galina Madjaroff. Through this I met Dr. Amy Hurst who offered me a summer internship to do research with her.
Who did you work with on this project?
My supervisors are Dr. Hurst and UMBC undergraduate student Syed Rahman, a chemical engineering major.
Was this your first independent research project?
This is my second research project; my first research project was during the spring with Ms. Madjaroff and Dr. Shaun Kane on a touchscreen projector for older adults also known as Bonfire.
Do you get course credit for this work or get paid? How much time do you put into it?
I did get paid during this summer project. This summer I am working on my project and do research over 30 hours a week which is Monday through Friday and sometimes Saturday.
What academic background did you have before you started?
I am majoring in Management in Aging Services alongside taking pre-physical therapy courses. The knowledge I have acquired over the past semesters about older helped me to understand the needs of the older population especially in using assistive technology and making them independent.
How did you learn what you needed to know to be successful in this summer project?
Dr. Hurst assisted me and gave me the necessary tools. If I had any questions she was more than willing to help. I also learned to use and care for the Makerbot tool for this project.
What has been the hardest part about your work this summer?
I believe the hardest part about my work was trying to come up with ideas and brainstorming potential projects to design and print to present to the older adults.
How does this research experience relate to your course work?
I am majoring in Aging Studies and the primary focus of this research is providing older adults with assistive technology. Already having some background knowledge of the older population made it easier for me to tackle this project.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
My advice is once you hear about a research opportunity take the initiative of getting involved. Don’t be shy and let an opportunity pass you by. Don’t wait for an opportunity to come to you; be willing to go after opportunities. Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can. There will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.
Being involved in research takes you far into your career and looks great on resume. It also helps you to network and meet people. I was nervous and shy doing research for the first time but I knew it would help me with my career. Not only has it given me the hands-on experience it has helped me to meet a lot of people.
What are your career goals?
I plan on doing my master’s in aging or a Master’s of Science in gerontology and going to a physical therapy school and/or a Ph.D. program. Hopefully one day I will own my own physical therapy practice and be able to travel all over the world to explain about the needs of older adults.
What else can you share?
I have enjoyed learning 3D modeling and how to use a 3D printer, preparing materials for a focus group with older adults on rapid prototyping and helping run a focus group. I have also enjoyed the assistance and direction of my supervisor Dr. Hurst and other students and working as a team. One of my favorite quotes is “Never let the hands that hold you, hold you down”. I am also a member of the African Student Association and planning on joining the pre-physical therapy club.

Researcher of the Week: Mina Attia
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
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.
