A&M undergrad researchers share experiences working in top research program By Madeleine Brennan @madkathbren

Texas A&M participates in the Student Experience in the Research University survey every other year.

National student survey uses responses to improve undergraduate education By Savannah Mehrtens @SJMehrtens Young adults in undergraduate studies have the opportunity for their voices to be heard at Texas A&M and nationwide by participating in the student survey known as the Student Experience in the Research University, or SERU.

cross Texas A&M, students play an integral role in aiding and developing professors’ research projects. Undergraduate research offers students experience in the research field, while developing important skills for collectively working on a team. With more than 66,000 undergraduates and 12,000 graduate and professional students in its research programs, A&M leads as one of 62 universities in the Association of American Universities (AAU), an organization of leading public and private universities in the United States and Canada. For students, Texas A&M’s research programs offer an abundance of different opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to get involved.

Undergraduate and graduate research occurs in every college at Texas A&M from dentistry to history, architecture to liberal arts. Saelis Mercado, English senior and Blackbox residency poet, works as an undergraduate research assistant for Laura Estill, who manages the World Shakespeare Bibliography. This database catalogs every journal or article that discusses Shakespeare in order to provide an up-to-date source of material for scholarly research. As a research assistant, Mercado skims paper and online journals and articles for Shakespeare references to add to the database. Although she works primarily in the background, Mercado said she enjoys working behind the scenes to make the process more efficient for others in the team. “I like being a part of something

so big and so useful to people all over the world,” Mercado said. “And I think that’s something I want to do no matter what career I go into. I like knowing that I’m contributing to something that can help others.” Nick Johnson and Margaret Gill, biology juniors, work as research assistants alongside Ginger Carney, associate professor of biology studying behavioral neuroscience through experiments testing the effects of genetic modification on fruit flies and their mating patterns. The students’ work primarily focuses on working alongside graduate students in the preparation and management of Carney’s experiments. They often perform tasks ranging from cleaning to cooking food for flies and conducting the experiments. By working inside a RESEARCH ON PG. 3

To improve students’ undergraduate education, SERU provides evaluations based on student responses in the survey. According to their website, the responses are meant to provide information about all aspects of an undergraduate experience. SERU was developed by the SERU ON PG. 2

A&M, NASA partner to design ‘Robonaut’ Prof, grad student to create robot to help astronauts By Mikayla Andrade @MikaylaAndrade It won’t be too long before robots are a part of everyday life on Earth, but Texas A&M is working with NASA to design a robot which will assist astronauts in space. Dezhen Song, professor of computer science, and his graduate student Shu-hao Yeh are collaborating with NASA’s Johnson Space Center to create localization mapping algorithms for a robot that will one day be sent into space. The robot — better known as the Robonaut — will help astronauts with simple tasks to save time and boost effectiveness, such as holding items, moving objects and retrieving tools. The final goal of for the Robonaut is to make it fully auton-

By Tyler Snell @Tyler_Snell2 A research team in the Department of Biomedical Engineering was awarded a $1.9 million research grant by the National Institute of Health in February and plans to use the funds for ongoing research.

Associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering Melissa Grunlan heads the research team that is continuing a project to develop a polymer to fill and heal cranial bone defects that occur from an injury, birth defect or surgery. The project has been going on for almost five years, and Grunlan

said she is excited to continue moving forward with eventual clinical testing in the future. “It’s very exciting because it comes after many years of hard work to prove the concept behind what they ultimately rewarded for us,” Grunlan said. “It’s exciting to be able to move forward with this GRANT ON PG. 2

work and toward a clinically viable product.” Grunlan’s research team consists of Brian Saunders and Roy Pool, professors in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Michael Moreno, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mariah Hahn, professor from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute along with undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students. “It’s very rewarding because federal funding is so competitive and our group has been working toward this goal for a number of years,” Saunders said. “It’s great and at the same time when you are given an award of this nature you see how much work you have ahead of you, so it actually causes us to have a reality check and look ahead at the

SERU CONTINUED Center for Studies in Higher Education at the University of California, Berkeley, according to the SERU website. The Assistant Provost for Institutional Effectiveness Alicia M. Dorsey said SERU began with the nine undergraduate campuses of the University of California system, but branched out since then for a broader spectrum of undergraduate students nationwide. “These are large institutions that have both a commitment to a quality of education as well as a commitment to the discovery of new knowledge,” Dorsey said. The director of Student Life Studies Darby Roberts said A&M participated in SERU from 2012 to 2015. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Evaluation found it more useful to begin releasing SERU less frequent. “Right now the plan is to do it every other year, so every odd year we will do the survey,” Roberts said.

ROBONAUT CONTINUED make Robonaut, make it from [a] mobile robot to an autonomous robot,” Shu-hao said. “We want it to navigate itself, given the map of the space station. Of course astronauts in a space station can handle more tasks, [but] I think it benefits in efficiency and also safety.” One goal of this project is to reduce the human risk factor when astronauts operate on the outside of the space station. Song said they are programming the Robonaut to perform simple tasks, but in the future, it could be improved to do more complicated jobs humans do today. “Right now most of the task the

goals to pursue for the project.” The polymer the team is developing will temporarily support healing and will dissolve, leaving behind a healed bone defect. The material can be shaped to each person’s bone defect with little work once the material is exposed to a warm saline solution. “What we are hoping is that this material will be a new way to treat those defects in a better and easier way,” Grunlan said. “It’s going to hopefully be a better option for individuals to be able to treat these types of defects.” Ph.D. student Lindsay Woodard has worked on the project since the beginning and said it has a lot of potential. “They are really excited about it, and we just think it is very promising, very practical and easy to understand the benefits it could have,” Woodard said. Saunders said this grant and the

project shows how A&M continues to work toward making an impact in medicine and biomedical engineering. “This demonstrates the success of a complementary collaborative team,” Saunders said. “Our project will demonstrate that Texas A&M is continuing to advance toward achieving their goals of becoming a leader in biomedical and regenerative medicine, research and therapy.” Grunlan said A&M is working toward a better future for others and this research project only adds to the continued improvement. “If Texas A&M could be a part of how changing how patients are treated who are dealing with these diseases, that is a huge societal impact,” Grunlan said. “That’s what Texas A&M is all about and what students are passionate about as well.”

Information found within the various topics are later provided to related departments and used to improve lacking portions of the related department. “I’m hoping that a lot of students participate and complete the whole survey so we have a good representation of the undergraduate student body,” Roberts said. “For academic programs, they can look at their specific major or particular program and they have enough responses in the students in that program so they can look at it holistically.” The more information provided from the largest poll will present the most accurate depiction of the entire whole. Dorsey hopes this year will have the most diverse poll of information yet. “We truly want to hear from all of our students,” Dorsey said. “Which means that those students who are international students, the students of color, the students from a variety of walks of life — we really want to use this as an opportunity to learn more

about everyone’s experience on this campus.” Dorsey said SERU members are motivated by the motto, “Every student has a voice and every voice is heard.” “This survey is really a great opportunity for students to share with the institution what those experiences are like,” Dorsey said. The survey compiles information shared with more than 20 research universities who also participate in SERU in hopes of improving and understanding the undergraduate experience nationwide. “University of Texas completes this,” Dorsey said. “One of the things we would love to see is Texas A&M students have a higher response rate than the University of Texas.” The survey is estimated to take approximately 30 minutes. To take the SERU, visit their website at http://seru.tamu.edu and log in with a NetID and password.

Robonaut will be doing will be [picking] and [placing] things, moving things around, helping people with the simple task like sorting shelves and retrieve items,” Song said. Going into space with a Robonaut as opposed to another astronaut does have benefits. Both Song and Shu-hao pointed out how it could save time, money and energy. “The biggest benefit is one of the safety things, humans always need life support system when you survive in space,” Song said. “It’s very demanding and so costly sending a human there. [Humans] have probably eight-to-12hour day for working, but robot does not have that limitation … Let humans do more important things, let robot take care of simple things. Then they

be more effective and efficient when it comes to space task.” Although the Robonaut could be ready in as little as a couple of months, Song said the project has many steps and getting the Robonaut to be “fully operational” is a relative term; there is always something more to be done. Song said she is optimistic about their project and it will impact the future of space exploration and society in a positive way. “We feel we have a good place to make our technology working, and also make it have a positive impact on society,” Song said. “If it functions according to our plan, it will make Astronaut life easier. Also, lessons we learn help us build a better, cheaper robot for people live on ground.”

RESEARCH CONTINUED lab, they’re able to gain research experience for the future while furthering their knowledge academically, Gill said. “You hear about experiments in class and how they did them, but this is actually hands-on, thinking about it yourself, thinking through the process and how to solve problems creatively,” Gill said. “It’s a realistic perspective of what a lab actually is and how it works.” Although both students work upward of 10 hours a week, Johnson said the more work students put in the more they will learn. Through their lab work, they are able to earn a deeper understanding of the work that goes into writing science textbooks and performing research in the field, Johnson said. “The most rewarding thing is understanding the scientific method,” Johnson said. “If you want to think critically and learn better, you have to question the things that you read. There’s tons, years of work that goes behind each statement in a science textbook. That’s an incredible thing that I’ve learned that I wouldn’t have really understood unless I was in a research lab.” Micah Green, professor and honors coordinator for chemical engineering, said securing a research position is all about approaching professors and expressing interest in their research. “I’ve met so many students who think they have to apply to some official program, and that’s not true,” Green said. “The big myth I want to dispel is that you don’t have to go through some official program and fill out an application online. It can be as simple as going to a professor and saying, ‘I think

your research is really interesting. I’d like to get involved.’” Texas A&M offers various avenues for students seeking to find a place in research. The Talent Incubator Program (TIP), is one example of a program focused on developing undergraduate research. As an on-campus applied research program, TIP grants industrial distribution majors the opportunity to work alongside companies in the creation of real-world projects and innovative solutions, which are implemented by the sponsor company. Esther Rodriguez-Silva, director of TIP, said the program provides a way for students to apply their knowledge to jobs they’ll be performing in the future. “Students do research, they explore their interests, they get a lot of industry exposure and additional skills. They get to apply what they are learning in classes in real work environment,” Rodriguez-Silva said. “They get to develop projects and interact with industry… and are often recruited for internships or full-time employment.” Student Research Week, which takes place from March 27 to 31, allows undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their research through posters and oral presentations. Students can also attend sessions on research throughout the week in the MSC. Ultimately, when it comes to getting involved, Green encourages students to get involved early and to use research as an avenue for finding their passion and investing time in projects in which they’re interested. “Do it for the knowledge,” Green said. “It’s better to be the person that seeks out rewarding and enriching experiences. That shines through in who you are, whether it gets to go on the resumé or not.”
