Osmedy Gonzalez - Ever since I started school I became fascinated
with the world of Mathematics.
Throughout my first years of school I participated
in Math contests driven by the
curiosity of knowing much more than only
what I was being taught in class. I am
looking forward to finish my degree and
find a job that will allow me to apply the
knowledge that I am gaining but also to be
useful to my community and society in general.
Christian Paylor-Smith - As an undergraduate at Brooklyn
College in Spring 2008, I was introduced
to LSAMP and began my work in a biology
laboratory for the first time of my life.
Working with Professor Jennifer Basil, my
research mentor has been a tremendous
experience for me. We have worked on
long-term memory consolidated in the
brain of a crayfish by performing various
kinds of eye-cooling treatments.
Joseph Inigo - began his years and education in the Philippines.
He then settled in New York in 1997,
and eventually joined the College of Staten
Island in 2008. Soon after, he discovered and
became a mem oscience
laboratory. Within approximately two
years of doing so, he learned to perform
mouse brain dissection, isolate sections of
prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, and perform recording of
electrical activity from these tissue slices.
Demba Sene is an engineering science major at the Borough
of Manhattan Community College
(BMCC). When I started my major I
discovered the research opportunity
for engineering students. In summer
2010, I started research in the Engineering
Title V program. My first
research titlorescence Specloped
with my mentor Prof. Ozgur Ecevit of the science department.
Cherie Fletcher - Presently, I am a STEM major at Bronx
Community College and a member of Tau
Alpha Pi and CSTEP. I am a Chemistry
major and currently in my sophomore year
and plan on graduating spring 2012. My
plans going forward are to apply to a Chemical
Engineering or Biochemistry program
at a four-year school. After this I would
like to obtain my PhD doing research in
Nanotechnology and Biochemistry.
Herman Salazar - was born in Brooklyn, New York and initially
began to take interest in Science
and Mathematics in elementary school
where he constructed an electromagnet
with a battery, wire and nail. For middle
school I attended New Voices Middle
School in Brooklyn. With a degree in
mathematics, I wish to do research focused
on the everyday interactions of
human beings.
Joseph Kim is currently enrolled in the New York City College
of Technology. This college is a
City University of New York or CUNY
for short. I am almost done with my
associate degree in Electromechanical
Engineering Tech initely
going to further my education and
go for my baccalaureate in Computer
Engineering Technology, then, move on
to a masters. Summer 2011 was my first semester in LSAMP
and I found this program very educational.
Alberto Munoz - was born in Brooklyn, New York.to proud
Mexican Immigrants. Alberto entered college
as a prospective English Education (7-
12) Major, unbeknownst to him on which
scholarly path he would embark. He loves
to learn and challenge himself. Because he
felt the need to officially declare a major,
he eventually chose t a B.S. in Chemistry.
His main goal is to enter a PhD program.
Naomi Ramesar - Growing up, I have always had an interest
in science. Science enables us to question
the world in which we live and
allows us to obtain the answers to
those questions. Over the years, I have
come to realized that by doing research,
whether it is biomedical, biological
or mathematical, it allows one
individual or a team of researchers to help a vast number of
people. Being a Chemistry major at Hunter has allowed me to
take a vast number of Science and Mathematics courses that I
feel have prepared me to confidently work in a lab setting.
Diniece Peters -
humble individual with a combined
passion for math and a fondness for
fixing broken things. I was exposed
to different types of research
through the LSAMP Program. I began
research in Structural Engineering
programming in Matlab that
focused on modeling behaviors of structures. Consequently, I
improved my programming skills, which proved to be very
useful.
