Researcher of the Week: Esther GrossUndergraduate researchers explore their interests!Where did you conduct your research this summer? I conducted my research at the Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California.
How did you find out about applying for summer research? I found out about applying for summer research because through the Meyerhoff program. They strongly encourage all of us to apply for Summer Research Opportunities for Undergraduates (REUs).
Where did you look to learn which places were hiring undergraduate researchers? There are lots of great opportunities on the NSF website. Furthermore, google is a great resource if you just search for keywords like "internships," "REUs," and "Undergraduate Research."
How many places did you apply to? I applied to around 10 different internships. This was helpful because they can be really competitive.
Was the application process difficult? Who helped you? The application process reminded me of applying to college. It's not too difficult, though it is very important to keep organized. I recommend making a chart to keep track of deadlines, reminding professors about recommendations, and writing a generic personal statement that can be modified as needed.
What research did you do? My research was on the statistical modeling and clustering of music. We looked at 544 short drum interludes and worked on instrument recognition using template matching and Hidden Markov Models.
Was this your first time conducting research in the summer? Yes and I highly recommend it. It was the most fun enriching experience that I had all summer.
What background did you have before you applied? Though I was vaguely familiar with statistics, I had never actually taken a class and had very little experience with the material. However, I had no difficulty picking it up. All of us were glad to help each other overcome holes in our background. Don't let background stop you from applying, just be up front about it.
Who did you work with during your research? A professor? graduate student? other undergraduates? I worked with a group of undergraduates as well as a professor. It was such a pleasant experience working side by side with a professor rather than being 'told what to do.'
Where did you live while you were doing the research? I lived on Pomona campus in the dorms with the rest of the researching.
How do you think this research experience helped you? In addition to helping me learn more about graduate school and academic research in the field of mathematics, it was a very empowering experience. Furthermore, I made tons of friends with similar interests.
Will you do research this year during the academic year? Yes, I am currently in the process of searching for a professor to do research with for the next couple of years.
What about next summer? I will either be participating in research on campus or applying to another internship. I can't wait.
What would you say to other UMBC students about finding and doing summer research? You should definitely do it! Don't be afraid to ask others for help and whatever you do, don't limit yourself. Apply to several places, even places that are on the other side of the country. It's about a lot more than just research, it's a wonderful life experience.
What are your goals after UMBC? My goal is ultimately to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics and become a professor. I am still trying to determine what graduate school I would like to attend. Regardless of where life takes me, I hope that I can be a perpetual student and continue to learn.

The Graduate Student Association (GSA) of Meharry Medical College would like to cordially invite any interested students to our Undergraduate Outreach Day (UGO) during Research Week 2012. The GSA is seeking senior-level undergraduates and post-baccalaureate students with an interest in biomedical research or public health. Undergraduate Outreach Day will be held on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 in the West Basic Sciences Building. The newest addition to Meharry’s Research Week, UGO is an opportunity for prospective students to network with Meharry graduate students and faculty, and learn not only about our current research focuses, but also about the graduate student experience at Meharry. Undergraduate Outreach Day is designed to encourage students, especially underrepresented minorities and women, to pursue careers in health-based research careers. During UGO, students will have the opportunity to attend workshops about the different programs and career tracks in basic research and health services administration in the public and private sector; experience a graduate level lecture; receive a tour of Meharry; apply to either of Meharry’s programs (if eligible and they have the necessary paperwork); and speak one-on-one with current Meharry students and faculty.
Established in 1876, Meharry Medical College is the nation’s largest private, independent, historically black academic health center dedicated solely to educating minority and other health professionals. Meharry offers a Master’s of Science in Public Health and a Doctorate in Biomedical Sciences in addition to the Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees.

Have you considered any extra costs it might take to complete your research? Perhaps your future capstone project includes some travel to interview people, or maybe you want to go to another state and use a particular library for your resources.
The Office of Undergraduate Education supports student efforts to complete research and they offer Undergraduate Research Awards (URA) to assist financially. You might be eligible! And you won't find out unless you apply.
Applications for a URA are due Friday, March 2. We encourage you to talk to your INDS advisor in hopes to make your URA application stand out. Several INDS students have received financial assistance from this award!
Find the application and other resources here: http://www.umbc.edu/undergrad_ed/research/URA/forms.html
