Researcher of the Week: Sigfredo Soto
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Sigfredo,
He is a Physics major and an URA Scholar. Sigfredo transferred from Anne Arundel Community College with an Associates of Arts in Communications. He is an advocate for undergraduate research. "Take the opportunity if you can find it. It is eye opening and satisfying when you reach personal milestones. Find a mentor that you feel comfortable with. Take it as seriously as you would school work."
His research explores the skies above and is trying to understand the current mismatch between our observational and theoretical capabilities in the effort to understand the gamma-ray variable emission of blazars coming from the vicinity of a black hole. The goal of his research is to develop realistic numerical simulations to model the variable gamma-ray emission of luminous blazars, powerful relativistic jets emanating from the vicinity of the supermassive black holes found in the centers of active galaxies.

Researcher of the Week: Caroline Larkin
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Caroline,
She is a
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology major as well as a
Meyerhoff Scholar. She is heavily involved in Golden Key International Society and also plays soccer. Much of her extracurricular time is spent at Blue Crab CrossFit, where she works out almost every day. Her future goal is to eventually earn a Ph.D. in Computational Genetics and hopefully one day run a research lab that utilizes computational methods to better understand the genetic basis of many diseases such as Crohn’s Disease.
Her research involves in the study of heterogeneous cancer phenotypes. Cancer is a disease arising from a variety of sub-clonal tumor cells dynamically interacting within themselves and the surrounding environment. Sub-clonal tumor heterogeneity is a relatively new aspect of cancer, and its understanding is essential for the development of cancer therapeutics. To better understand the dynamics of sub-clonal tumor heterogeneity, we developed a computational framework to construct non-spatial, dynamic mathematical models of tumor heterogeneity.
Read more about her research here…

Researcher of the Week: Niara Comrie
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Niara,
She is a
Mathematics major and an independent researcher. Besides conducting research, Niara is an advocate for the research process. Her advice to students new to research is to dive in, "
...don't be intimidated. The best way to learn is by doing." She did not have any experience with 3D printing prior to working at the PAD lab. Now, she has several publications and is teaching professionals how to 3D print in their field. She adds "
There are no limitations to what you can do."
The goal of her research is to use three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to empower therapists to create customizable and inexpensive assistive technology for patients. Therapists can use medical expertise to tailor adaptations to existing assistive technologies, but current efforts to customize assistive technology are limited to materials like tape, clay, Velcro, and foam padding. She plans to familiarize medical professionals with 3D printing to make highly specific modifications to assistive devices and provide them with software to make 3D models.

Researcher of the Week:Himadri Patel
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Himadri,
She is a double major (Biological Sciences & Interdisciplinary Studies) and an URA Scholar. She is also a Teaching Assistant for the Chemistry Discovery Center and a Tutor for the Learning Resources Center. If research is in your future, Himadri recommends getting started in the process early on so that you have enough time to get involved in a lab, learn and discover if research is your passion. Her future plans are to pursue a career as a physician, possibly specializing in the field of Neurology.
Her research involves in examining stress-induced analgesia (SIA), the phenomenon in which exposure to intense stress suppresses the perception of pain. From an evolutionary perspective, SIA is part of the adaptive fight-or-flight response mediated by the sympathetic nervous system that enhances an individual’s ability to survive a crisis situation; pain suppression is a critical component of this response as it enables individuals to escape a threat even if they have sustained an injury.
