Reflection
I would like to sincerely thank the travel award committee at UMBC as well as the undergraduate research department at UMBC for their assistance in providing me with funding for my undergraduate researcher experience. My undergraduate research experience involved the presentation of my first publication titled “Tacking Air Pollution in the City of Baltimore, Maryland Utilizing Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR)” at the 2017 2nd Asia Conference on Environment and Sustainable Development in Tokyo, Japan during November 2-4, 2017.
This undergraduate research experience was beyond beneficial towards my future career as an undergraduate researcher. More specifically, the idea of presenting my original research as an undergraduate student in a foreign country is extremely uncomfortable as a new experience, but by given the opportunity to complete it allowed me to grow tremendously on not only an interpersonal level but also on every other level. In addition, the attendance of this conference allowed me to network considerably and opened up potential future research collaborations. Finally, this undergraduate research experience has also allowed me to grow considerably on a personal level due to my exposure to a totally foreign culture and belief system.
