    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Meet Chelsea,</div>
    <div>She is a <a href="http://me.umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Mechanical Engineering</a> major, a <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/undergrad_ed/research/opportunities/nist.php" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">NIST Scholar</a> and a <a href="http://www.umbcretrievers.com/sports/wtrack/2013-14/bios/vane_chelsea_i4xq" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Track and Field Athlete</a>. Her time of 13:06.05 for the 3,000m ranks as the seventh-best in UMBC program history.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>
    <strong>How did you find out that you could do research in your field in the summer?</strong> </div>
    <div>I applied to several internships for the summer and I was offered one (internship) position at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How did you know that research at NIST was what you wanted to do? </strong></div>
    <div>I had no idea what I wanted to do, but the internship at NIST helped me narrow my career options.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Did you apply to other places? </strong></div>
    <div>I applied to other places, such as Washington Water and Sanitary Commission in Gaithersburg, Lockheed Martin, and more.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Was the application difficult to do? Did you have help with this?</strong></div>
    <div>The application was not hard and a lot of help was given in editing the personal statement.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What was your summer research project? </strong></div>
    <div>My summer research project was applying machine learning techniques to manufacturing. Machine learning, in this case, is where data is inputted into a program and the program then learns the patterns and structure of the data. After that, predictions of new data are generated. In my project, I studied the efficiency between the theoretical and predicted, or machine-learned, data.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Who was your mentor for this project?</strong> </div>
    <div>Dr. Sudarsan Rachuri, an Industrial Engineer in the Life Cycle Engineering Group at NIST.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>How much time do you put into this work?</strong> </div>
    <div>Eight hours a day, five days a week for 11 weeks.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Were you paid? Where did you live? </strong></div>
    <div>The internship provided a stipend and housing in a hotel about ten to fifteen minutes from NIST. I recommend staying at the hotel for future interns because students from all over the country come and it is a great learning experience as well.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What academic background did you have before you started?</strong></div>
    <div>My academic background included just the prerequisite engineering classes at UMBC.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How did you learn what you needed to know for this project?</strong></div>
    <div>For this project, I had to do a lot of background research in the beginning stage of the internship.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What was the hardest part about your research?</strong></div>
    <div>The hardest part was not having much direction. When my mentor asked for something to be done, I had to figure things out on my own before coming back to collaborate with him.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What was the most unexpected thing?</strong></div>
    <div>Throughout the internship, my mentor made many changes to my project, including switching the topic completely in the middle of the summer. That was very unexpected and slightly stressful, but it was a challenge I had to take on.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How does this research relate to your course work at UMBC?</strong></div>
    <div>This research does not relate to my course work at UMBC, but it was a good experience at a professional company.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?</strong></div>
    <div>Be open to any opportunities, changes, and more because research can be very flexible.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Do you now live on campus or commute to UMBC?</strong></div>
    <div>I lived on campus my freshman year, but I will be commuting for the upcoming fall.</div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>Researcher of the Week: Samantha Furman</Title>
<Tagline>Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Meet Samantha,</div>
    <div>She is a <a href="http://mathstat.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Mathematics major</a>, a <a href="http://marcustar.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">MARC U*STAR Scholar</a> and a <a href="http://meyerhoff.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Meyerhoff Scholar</a>. In her spare time, Samantha is the Vice President of Programming of Delta Phi Epsilon international social sorority, Vice President of math council/honors society and treasurer of the women's club volleyball team. Her future plans includes pursuing a Ph.D. in mathematics and then continue doing research either in academia or industry.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div><strong>What research experiences have you had? </strong></div>
    <div>I participated in the Leadership Alliance program at the University of Chicago this past summer. I worked with Dr. Benson Farb in the mathematics and statistics department on a project called “The Dirichlet Problem on an Ellipse with Polynomial Boundary Values.”</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How did you find the research opportunity? </strong></div>
    <div>The Meyerhoff Scholars Program suggested that I apply for summer research opportunities through the Leadership Alliance. I chose to apply to the University of Chicago through Leadership Alliance because the University of Chicago has an outstanding mathematics graduate program.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Who did you work with on this project? </strong></div>
    <div>I worked with my mentor, Dr. Benson Farb, and graduate student Wouter van Limbeek</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Do you get course credit for this work? Paid? How much time do you put into it?</strong></div>
    <div>It was an eight-week summer program where I got paid $3,400. I worked five days a week, from 9am-5pm.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What academic background did you have before you started?</strong></div>
    <div>Before I went to Chicago, I had completed my freshman year. My math background included the calculus series, Linear Algebra and Ordinary Differential Equations.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How did you learn what you needed to know to be successful in this lab?</strong></div>
    <div>To complete my project, I read papers and books on how to write proofs. I had no knowledge of real analysis coming to Chicago so I had to pick a lot of it up there.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>What was the hardest part about your research?</strong> </div>
    <div>The hardest part of my research was being confident in my work. Completing a pure theoretical project with no theoretical background was challenging.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What was the most unexpected thing?</strong></div>
    <div>I had always been afraid of giving presentations. I had stage fright. During the program in Chicago, my public speaking improved tremendously. I was surprised to see how comfortable I had become talking about my research.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How does this research experience relate to your work in other classes?</strong></div>
    <div>My research focused heavily on writing proofs and theorems so I will have a semi advantage when I take Real Analysis since that class focuses on proofs.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What did you gain from presenting your work at the 2014 Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS)?</strong></div>
    <div>Presenting my work at ABRCMS gave me confidence that I know what I am talking about. My judges were familiar with my project so being able to have intellectual conversations with them about my project was an amazing experience.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? </strong></div>
    <div>I would say that no matter your age, what classes you have taken, you can do it. You can learn anything on your feet if you stay focused and motivated. Self motivation is a hard thing, but to do research you need self-motivation. Do not give up. It will get better and when it does get better, you will be proud of yourself.</div>

<Title>Chemistry Students! Did You Find Your Summer Position Yet?</Title>
<Tagline>PAID Summer Research Opportunity at Chapel Hill</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>The Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity in Chemistry (SUROC) provides students from outside the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill an opportunity to engage in hands-on cutting edge research in our state of the art facilities. This is an opportunity to experience Carolina Chemistry, recognized by ACS as one of the top ten graduate programs.</p>
    <p>During the 10 weeks of research, students will be exposed to the various facets of independent research. A small cohort of 10 students will work together building a strong scholarly foundation. The experience will be heightened with the opportunities outside the hands-on laboratory work: site visits to large pharmaceutical and small startup companies; introduction to scientific entrepreneurship; experience presenting scientific research; training in research ethics; and exposure to chemical equipment and facilities.</p>
