URCAD is coming!!
Applications open Jan. 3
Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day
On Wednesday April 16, 2025, Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD) will feature research, scholarship, and creative work carried out by UMBC undergraduates. Student work will be shared through oral presentations, posters, artistic exhibits, performances, and film. Over 300 presenters participate annually. Researchers work with faculty mentors on independent research, or research that is part of the mentor’s on-going projects. They are from all disciplines, and can be working on a thesis, capstone project, part of a scholars or honors program, or they can be unaffiliated. This campus-wide celebration of achievement affirms UMBC’s commitment to the twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience.
All current undergraduates who have conducted research, scholarship or creative work in the last year may apply to present their results at URCAD. Mentors, fellow students, friends, family members, high school teachers and students, graduate school recruiters, and the general public are invited to attend.
Apply starting January 3 at URCAD.umbc.edu
A 200-word abstract describing your research and mentor approval is required.
Email aprilh@umbc.edu with any questions.

Meet Luke O'Neill
INDS Fall 2024 Graduate Highlight Series
B.A.: A Social Science Approach to Sports Injuries and Recovery
Any other major, minor, certificate, and/or honors that will be on your graduation records
Degree Mentors:
Why did you choose to major in INDS?
I was set on both wanting to study sports medicine and go to UMBC. I met with an advisor and heard I might be able to do that in INDS.
What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?
After graduating, I will start my Master’s degree in Sports Nutrition. My INDS degree has prepared me for graduate school and beyond my giving me a foundation in research, critical thinking, and a tailored knowledge base I could not get in a traditional program.
EXTRACURRICULAR
- Vice President of Men’s Club Volleyball
- URCAD 2024 Presenter | Fueling Diversity: Understanding Student-athletes’ Dietary Habits
- Athletic Trainer (Intern), UMBC Sports Medicine
For more information on Luke's INDS journey please click here:
Paul is a senior Physics major with minors in Astrophysics and Mathematics. He is the recipient of the Merck Undergraduate Fellowship.
Title of your research project:
Relative Velocity Distribution of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Major Mergers
Describe your project:
My project involves gathering and cleaning a sample of high mass ratio (major) galaxy mergers and determining the relative velocities between the galaxies in each merger. Using this sample of mergers, I also search for a way to distinguish between true mergers and galaxy pairs that only appear to be interacting due to a projection effect without needing spectroscopic information.
Who is your mentor(s) for your project?
My mentor is Dr. Adi Foord in the Physics department. I have a general interest in astrophysics, which aligns with Dr. Foord’s research related to active galactic nuclei and galaxy mergers. I first heard of her research from another professor in the department and because of our similar interests reached out to talk about research.
How did you become interested in this project?
This project was interesting to me since galaxy mergers are thought to be an important mechanism for the evolution of galaxies. So, learning more about mergers could help answer deeper questions about galaxies, supermassive black holes, and active galactic nuclei. Participating in this project also seemed like a great way to get familiar with handling and interpreting astrophysical data.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?
Throughout my time working on this project, I have realized how important it is to have good organization, particularly when working with a large sample of data. Oftentimes I would need to return to and reference my previous work, which if not documented properly can be difficult.
What has been the most rewarding part?
I have enjoyed being able to talk about my research and learn about others’ research during group meetings. It has helped me not only with getting experience with sharing my results, but also get more informed about current research in the field and learn about what other members of the research group are working on.
How will you disseminate your research?
I will be presenting about my research both at URCAD and at the 245th American Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting, in the form of a poster. I am also writing a paper which will be submitted for publication to the Astrophysical Journal.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
I would recommend keeping good track of what work you do each day towards your research project. If you are writing code, it is very useful to be organized and write comments so that it is easy to go back and reuse it.
What are your career goals?
I hope to go into a career researching physics, possibly as a professor or as a contractor for some research facility. To this end, I have applied to some graduate physics programs and hope to attend graduate school starting next Fall.

Yonder Cabinet Reception (Artist Talk & Refreshments)
in the Innovation Lab
The Alan and Wendy Wilson Innovation Lab is proud to welcome The Yonder Cabinet to the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery! Please join us for an artist talk and light refreshments on Thursday, November 14th between 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM in our makerspace, located on the first floor just past the main circulation desk.
The Yonder Cabinet is a collaborative installation project that combines the love of the written word, visual art, and fantastic places. Artists Kelley Bell and Melissa Penley Cormier originally conceived of The Yonder Cabinet as an exercise of the imagination in the midst of the COVID-19 epidemic. Much as the Cabinets of Wonder or wunderkammer from the 16th century collected and housed objects and specimens from far off places while telling stories of science and the natural world, The Yonder Cabinet began as an empty card catalog cabinet and took on new life as the artists filled two of the drawers with dioramas drawn from their favorite literature, enabling them to “travel” to these literary settings at at time of limited mobility.
The Innovation Lab will host workshops in the spring inviting members of the AOK community to make their own drawer dioramas. Details will appear here in the near future! In the meantime, we hope you will visit Kelley Bell and friends at the reception.

Meet Shanika Freeman
INDS Fall 2024 Graduate Highlight Series
B.A.: Recidivism and Policy in Urban Communities
Any other major, minor, certificate, and/or honors that will be on your graduation records
- Minor: Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Degree Mentors
- Dr. Laszlo Korossy, Political Science
- Carrie Sauter, Individualized Study
Why did you choose to major in INDS?
I chose INDS because it allows me to combine my interests in sociology, urban studies, and policy in a way that feels cohesive and focused. The program’s flexibility has been crucial in helping me explore these fields while addressing complex topics like mass incarceration, recidivism, and crime.
What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?
After graduation, I plan to pursue a Fulbright grant to research recidivism and reentry among women in Norway or pursue my Master’s in criminology, where I can continue to focus on prison systems, recidivism, and reentry processes. The fields of recidivism and reentry are inherently interdisciplinary, often requiring a deep understanding of sociology, criminal justice, public policy, and geographical information systems (GIS), among other disciplines. Through my INDS degree, I’ve gained the skills and to navigate these fields to address real-world issues.
