STEM Food & Ag Council Town Hall on Careers Open to ALL STEM Fields- watch on Facebook Live 4/27
The STEM Food & Ag Council is holding the "#AGis Town Hall" on April 27th at the Jack Morton Auditorium on the George Washington University campus, in conjunction with the Global STEM Talent Summit, and we would like your students to attend! 

How can you attend? Either in person, if you’re in the DC metropolitan area, or virtually through Facebook Live.

The Town Hall will explain to students with STEM interest that food and agriculture careers are STEM careers, and that they are often not what you would think. The event is open to all students, and will be highly interactive, featuring Q&A from the live audience and through web streaming. Three speakers will deliver "TED-style" presentations, leaving ample time for interaction with the audience.

Name:Tanner Yatsko

Internship, Co-op or Research Site:CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield in Baltimore, MD

Position Title: Technical Operations and Support Services Intern          

Major(s)/Minor(s): Information Systems

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

I work as a Technical Operations and Support Services Intern in the Healthcare Analytics and Informatics department of CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. I handle the manipulation of SQL programs to pull pieces of data relating to healthcare information that are then formatted into reports that are used by representatives of the different departments of the company.

Describe the process of obtaining your internship, research, or co-op opportunity.

I acquired the position by having the desire to gain experience in the field I was studying. In today's world, it is known that higher education is a great way to obtain the bigger positions, but it is also key to have the right experience. Using this as inspiration to obtain that experience, I just took the time to visit the Career Center where I had my résumé critiqued multiple times, which I then took to a Career Fair that was hosted on UMBC's campus and handed that résumé out to potential employers. It was a fairly simple process. It just took knowing that there would be some work involved.


Which resources did you use to find your current experience?

UMBC Career Center, Career Fairs, UMBCworks


What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company?

I love my internship because it has allowed me to not only put prior knowledge to use, but it has also allowed me to learn a lot more than I would ever learn in a classroom. To see how skills and education are applied in the working world has been an eye opening experience and has certainly helped me prepare for my career after I graduate.


How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

The experience has made me feel more confident in the fact that my college education is going towards something that will only improve my life moving forward. When it comes to my coworkers, I feel that I have helped take work off of their shoulders. It has been wonderful to see myself as a part of a team that truly appreciates what you do for them. It certainly takes time to get the hang of things, but in time you see the progress you are making, and it only makes you a larger asset to those you work with.


What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?

My best piece of advice for students seeking an internship would be to just go for it. A student needs to be willing to put in the work, use the resources that are available to them, and then put those to use when looking for an internship that is right for them. There is nothing more satisfying than being offered an opportunity after a student has done the work to obtain it. It is also good to keep in mind that there are employers that want and need interns that are educated and have the desire to put that education to use.

Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position.

An internship is the bridge between college experiences and real-world experiences. They help you get to where you want to go.

UMBC CSEE Seminar Series

Resynchronization of circadian neurons and the east-west asymmetry of jet-lag recovery

Zhixin Lu
University of Maryland, College Park

1-2pm Friday, 21 April 2017, ITE 231

Cells in the brain’s Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN) are known to regulate circadian rhythms in mammals. We model synchronization of SCN cells using the forced Kuramoto model, which consists of a large population of coupled phase oscillators (modeling individual SCN cells) with heterogeneous intrinsic frequencies and external periodic forcing. Here, the periodic forcing models diurnally varying external inputs such as sunrise, sunset, and alarm clocks. We reduce the dimensionality of the system using the ansatz of Ott and Antonsen and then study the effect of a sudden change of clock phase to simulate cross-time-zone travel. We estimate model parameters from previous biological experiments. By examining the phase space dynamics of the model, we study the mechanism leading to the difference typically experienced in the severity of jet-lag resulting from eastward and westward travel.

Zhixin Lu, PhD Candidate, joined the Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos Group in the University of Maryland, College Park in 2011, as a Graduate Research Assistant in Dr. Edward Ott’s group. He acquired expertise in nonlinear dynamics and complex systems. Together with the colleagues from UMD, he used methods from nonlinear dynamics theory to investigate the synchronization of circadian neurons, the statistical properties of critical avalanching firing in integrate-and-fire neuron models, as well as dynamical behavior of artificial recurrent neuronal networks. His main research interests are the applications of nonlinear dynamics and the theory of complex networks to biological and artificial neural networks.

Alison Larsen, Amy Huber, Ravi Bhatt, Melody Khosravi present their group project on "Age Friendly UMBC: Accessibility for All".

UMBC's Management of Aging Services student's explore how to address the lack of accessibility for older adult students as well as older faculty and staff on the UMBC campus. After speaking to many older adults and touring multiple successful Erickson Living communities, it has become abundantly clear that UMBC must make improvements to the campus in order to improve accessibility both inside and outside the classroom.

Be pro-active! Join us!
