Undergraduate Researcher of the Week: Varsha Pudi
Biomarkers in the human brain
Varsha Pudi is a Sondheim Scholar and a member of the Honors College, majoring in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and Psychology ('23).
Title of research: Human Brain Biomarkers
Mentor: Dr.Marisel Villafañe Delgado, JHU
Description of the research project: I have been working as a research intern with the CIRCUIT Program at The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory on the Human Brain Biomarkers project. We have been using graph theory and other advanced analytic tools to assess macro-scale brain connections in human connectomes. One of the key ambitions of neuroimaging-based pain biomarker research is to augment patient and clinician reporting of clinically relevant phenomena with neural measures for prediction, prognosis, and detection of pain.
How much time do you put into this work?
The program is a unique cohort-based research experience where
we work full-time (40 hours a week) during the summer and work
the following two semesters (15 hours a week) where we get
research credit.
What academic background did you have before you started?
I have an academic background in Biology, Chemistry, and Python coding.
How did you learn what you needed to know to be successful in this project?
I have found that taking initiative to discover more about my interests has been essential in helping me succeed.
What was the hardest part about your research?
The hardest part about my research is when we have technical issues that need to be debugged which is difficult, virtually.
What was the most unexpected thing?
One of the most unexpected things is how open-ended research is and how much say students have in the direction we take for the project.
How does this research experience relate to your work in other classes?
My computer science and biology classes have been very helpful. The computer science class helped with giving me a foundation in python for this project. My biology classes have given me a more real-world application perspective to the project.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Even if you do not think you are the most qualified applicant, sometimes putting yourself out there and trying can make all the difference.
What are your career goals?
My career goals are to go to medical school once I have graduated
from UMBC.

Welcome to UMBC!
Get connected with your Woolie Group!
Welcome to UMBC! We are so glad you're here, and hope Welcome Week will reinforce that you chose the right place, even in a weird time.
Each new student will be assigned to a Woolie Group led by one or two Welcome Week Leaders, fondly known as Woolies. Your Woolie Group is your central hub for adjusting to life as a Retriever. This group will serve as your space to:
- Meet other new students
- Connect with student leaders such as your Woolie(s)
- Attend virtual meetings and events
- Access the Welcome Week calendar
- Chat with your group members via your WebEx Team
You will receive an email notification once you are added to a group. Follow the link in that email to head over to myUMBC and start exploring all that your group has to offer! You can also access your group by signing into myUMBC, choosing “Groups” at the top, and looking for your group on the right side of the page.
Your first Woolie Group meeting is Friday, August 21 at 7:30pm via WebEx. Your Woolie(s) will have your full meeting schedule posted in your group.
Take a look around, make sure you have WebEx downloaded on your devices, and get ready to have some fun!
If you do not receive an email, or do not see your Woolie Group under “Groups” on your myUMBC dashboard, please contact Hallie Crawford, halliec@umbc.edu, for support.

Undergraduate Researcher of the Week: Cira Tapia
Do Latinos Use Academic Success Resources at HCC?
Cira Roxana Tapia is a senior with a major in Global Studies and a minor with a certificate in Intercultural Communication. She is a Returning Women Scholar and a current URA Scholar.
Title of your research project:
Latino Students enrolled at Howard Community College with very low participation in the success programs offered for the college.
Describe your project:
The goal of my research is to explore and find the stories of students of Hispanic descent registered at Howard Community College. My research will focus on knowing why Latino students do not use the institution's resources for academic success. Will students be afraid to ask about a program that can help them be successful, or will they be afraid because any of them are undocumented? Or they will have other obstacles like the English barrier, there are many questions that I want to find out because the students have little participation in the improvement programs.
Who is your mentor for your project?
Dr. Cristopher Brown, department of Global Studies. I chose my mentor because Dr. Brown is very passionate about teaching his global studies class. He is also my teacher in GLBL-401 Independent research class, and I want to learn a lot from my teacher, I know that with his guide I will go very far.
How did you become interested in this project?
I became interested in this project because I am a Latino immigrant and I have observed young students in college, the low participation in the programs offered by the institution, and it strikes me because the low interest of Latino students in not making the most of the resources that the college has. I want to know the reasons, reasons or circumstances of the students for this behavior of not taking advantage of all the opportunities that this institution has.
What has been the hardest part of your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?
The most unexpected thing about this research is discovering the factors or circumstances that prevent students from participating and taking advantage of the resources of the college institution. And I also want to be able to do something with the information or research I get so I can help students reach their goals so they can graduate. Not only will I focus on the students, I will also focus on the programs that the college has for Latino students or programs for all students and see what they do to get students to participate in successful programs. I will also focus on whether Latino students are failing or is the institution that does not have enough programs for Latino students.
What has been the most rewarding part?
The rewarding part of being part of the research is learning a lot from my mentor, his advice and experience will help me a lot to get me to do an excellent research.
How will you disseminate your research?
I will disseminate my research through research work and visual presentations, such as videos of the interviews. As a URA Scholar, I will present my project at URCAD in April.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
The research method is a way to apply the many things you learn in class and it is also a way to come to your own conclusions on topics you are passionate about.
I invite students to participate in these investigations.
What are your career goals?
My professional goals are to first finish my studies and graduate in Global Studies from UMBC, in the course of my graduation I want to have an internship in a non-profit organization or do an internship also in international offices of the state government. I want to always be of service to people, those who need help.
