URCAD Sneak Peek: Marelen Acevedo Soto
An immersive experience of music, animation, and visual art
UMBC- Are you ready to dance????
VJ-ing in the Ballroom from 2-2:30pm on April 16th at URCAD, Marelen Soto has created an interactive multidimensional mural that will make you move, think, and feel. Come experience this live performance and move your body in any way it wants to go!
Multi-Dimensional Mural: A Live Performance of Art, Sound, and Movement
Presenters: Marelen Soto, David Cobb Jr , Maria Fernanda Diaz Miranda, Justine Gaylord
Mentor: Corrie Parks, Visual Arts
Abstract
As a fine artist and muralist, I’ve often observed that despite the initial awe and admiration my completed works evoke, those feelings tend to fade from people’s memories quickly. This project aims to elevate static artwork into a dynamic performance that resonates deeply with viewers. By integrating music, movement, and visual art, I hope to foster a shared experience that becomes ingrained in collective memory, enriching our understanding of humanity’s creative expression.
Coming from the Dominican Republic and living in America has shaped my perspective as an Afro-Latina not only through music and art but also socially, politically, culturally, and ethically. This artwork represents not only my own identity but also the world around me. It reflects the ongoing struggles both internal (personal) and external (environmental) that affect my body, mind, and spirit. The selected music serves as an empowering force, connecting me to my roots and driving the emotional rhythm of the performance. My wish is for my art to bring joy and empowerment to communities. A distinctive feature of this work is the live performance, where each piece of animation will be synchronized with the rhythm of the music, creating an interactive, immersive experience.
2-2:30pm, UC Ballroom
This work was funded, in part, through an Undergraduate Research Award from the UMBC Division of Undergraduate Academic Affairs.

URCAD Sneak Peek: Paige Fullerton, Aveline Phillips, Brian Hughes, Neil Taylor, Sarah Armstrong, Cheyenne Nickerson
Gauging the health of campus vegetation from above
Ready to see some research that is really taking off?
Check out GES 286's weather balloons in the UC Ballroom at URCAD on April 16th!
Assessing Campus Vegetation From Above
Presenters: Paige Fullerton, Brian Hughes, Neil Taylor, Sarah Armstrong, Cheyenne Nickerson
Mentor: Charlie Kaylor, Geography and Environmental Systems
1-2pm
UC Ballroom
Abstract
This presentation will present the method and findings from an ongoing effort by the GES 286 course to gauge the health of campus vegetation. Students collect data necessary to derive the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) by sending tethered weather balloons with a payload of two cameras (one color; the other, infrared) 450 feet above campus to observe vegetation at different locations on the UMBC campus. Results are then georeferenced using Geographic Information Systems to generate the NDVI using “map algebra”. This approach is analogous to imaging techniques used for research and policy purposes, introducing students to the data models and techniques used in remote sensing generally. Ultimately, by imaging repeatedly, we can observe how the overall health of campus vegetation changes seasonally and over time.

URCAD Sneak Peek: CSEE Multidisciplinary Capstone Team
Autonomous Fixed-Wing UAV for Long-Range Payload Delivery
Come see an airplane prototype from the UMBC multidisciplinary capstone team on display at URCAD on April 16th in the UC Ballroom!
UMBC Multidisciplinary Capstone: Design and Development of an Autonomous Fixed-Wing UAV for Long-Range Payload Delivery
Presenters: Turibius Rozario, Joseph DeFusco, Adam Miu, Alex Vennos, Sean Stahler, Abby Joseph, Connor Cox, Emily Kosloski
Mentor: Charles LaBerge
Abstract
A UMBC multidisciplinary capstone team is designing and constructing a fixed-wing UAV. The UAV will carry a 10 lb payload and fly a range of 10 nautical miles at a minimum airspeed of 35 mph. It will be capable of autonomous flight and avoiding hazards. This aircraft is built from 3D printed and hobby-level electronics and software. It will also be capable of transmitting video and maintaining the safety of operators and nearby property. Sub-teams consisting of Computer and Mechanical Engineers have worked collaboratively to complete these tasks. A conventional gasoline-powered airframe with a v-tail minimizes drag while maintaining structural integrity. Remote ID detection, front sensing LiDAR, bottom-mounted LiDAR, and an airspeed sensor are used for UAV and forward obstacle avoidance and autonomous landing. Real-time Kinematic (RTK) GPS is used for centimeter accuracy. Telemetry radios and long range ExpressLRS radio are used to maintain connectivity over long range. A proof-of-concept prototype with a low-cost flight controller has been constructed. Additional tuning, setup of full autonomy, and configuration of video transmission, including lessons learned from the first test flight are yet to be performed.

Dr. Mohammad Ghashami , associate professor, mechanical and industrial engineering department at the University of Illinois Chicago, will be visiting UMBC this Friday to give a seminar. Please see abstract and biography below.
Abstract:
As devices and systems shrink to the micro- and nanoscale, the way heat moves fundamentally changes, challenging conventional engineering approaches and
opening new frontiers in energy transport and conversion. At these scales,
the classical assumptions of conduction, convection, and radiation break down,
revealing intricate interactions between energy carriers that govern thermal behavior
in unprecedented ways. These effects are not just scientific curiosities but also the key to transformative advancements in micro/nanoelectronics, thermal management, energy harvesting, and even space exploration. In this seminar, we will explore the physics of nanoscale thermal transport, highlighting how these emerging phenomena diverge
from macroscopic expectations andenable unprecedented control over heat flow. A particular focus will be on experimental investigations of radiative heat transfer in the near fieldand sub-continuum gas conduction. We will also discuss the design and engineering of novel materials with tailored thermal properties, paving the way for next-generation energy technologies. By developing a deeper understanding of nanoscale heat transfer, we can engineer materials and systems that redefine energy efficiency and thermal management. What was once an invisible and elusive aspect of physics is now at the forefront of innovation, shaping the next generation of engineering applications.
Bio:
Mohammad Ghashami is an associate professor in the mechanical and industrial engineering department at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), where he directs the Chicago Energy Engineering and Thermal Applications (Cheeta) laboratory.

Developing Your Business Style
A guide to dressing for success.
Your
business style is more than just what you wear — it’s how you present yourself
with confidence and poise. Whether you’re heading to an interview, attending a
networking event, or starting a new job, dressing the part can make all the
difference. But building a professional wardrobe doesn’t have to break the
bank.
Here are some tips on how to develop
your unique business style:
1.
Understand Dress Codes
Different workplaces have different
expectations. Business professional
typically includes suits and dress shoes, while business casual allows for more relaxed pieces like slacks and
blouses. Research the industry standard so you can dress appropriately.
2.
Invest in Versatile Pieces
A few key wardrobe staples can go a
long way. Blazers, dress shirts,
neutral-colored pants, and comfortable dress shoes are great starting
points. Stick to classic styles that can be mixed and matched for different
occasions.
3.
Prioritize Fit and Comfort
Clothes that fit well not only look
better but also help you feel more confident and less self-conscious. Avoid
anything too tight or too loose, and choose breathable fabrics that allow you
to move comfortably.
4.
Express Your Personal Style
While professionalism is key, your
attire should still accurately reflect who you are. Add small touches like a
unique accessory, a pop of color, or a signature piece that makes you feel authentic.
5.
