Researcher update of the month: Alvin Bett
March 2024
“Hi, I am Alvin Bett, an undergrad Chemistry Major with a minor in GES, which is the study of geography and integral environmental sciences that make up our world. I have been in the Blaney Lab for now two semesters. I think I should talk about the challenges in my experience so far as an undergrad researcher. When I came into Blaney Lab in the Fall of 2023, I was excited, nervous, and curious. I did not have a big understanding of equilibrium passive samplers. I learned so much through the different batch experiments we do and from the lab meetings with Dr. Blaney and with our group. I also found that although lab work can help me better understand doing research, building my understanding is key to being a better researcher. This helped me in the lab, as well as having meaningful. The next challenge, which is an ongoing battle, is time management. When I first started in the lab I struggled to find time to both finish the work that needed to be done in lab and manage other responsibilities I had outside of lab. As time went on, I soon found the balance between school, lab, and life. I have found the experience as an undergrad researcher to be enlightening not only in understanding PFAS but developing skills of work-life balance and work ethic.”
Thanks for sharing, Alvin! Research has its ups and downs, but it’s amazing how much you’ve learned and accomplished since you joined the lab.
Margaret presented her research for UMBC’s ICARE program
February 23, 2024
Members (and member alumni!) of the lab supported Margaret as she presented a poster on her research with passive samplers for the ICARE program, which aims to increase diversity in the environmental workforce and engage in local environmental research.
Researcher update of the month: Dr. Hui Chen
February 2024
“I am thrilled to share that I have accepted the position of Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at James Madison University, and I will be joining the faculty in Fall 2024.
Dr. Chen holding her daughter, Hailey, in her future lab at James Madison University!
Becoming a faculty member has been a dream I never thought I could achieve. The journey began in the summer of 2022 when, encouraged by Dr. Blaney, I decided to apply for a faculty position. I spent several weekends crafting the first version of my application materials, including teaching and research statements, a diversity statement, and a cover letter. Starting with minimal knowledge, I sought advice from Dr. Blaney, revised my statements over time, published papers, and by the fall of 2023, my materials had evolved to the tenth version. Passing the zoom interview and on-site interview was a proud moment, and receiving the offer marked the realization of this significant goal. I recognize that this success is the result of collective efforts, and I am deeply grateful for the guidance and support from my advisor, my family members, and especially my 1-year-old daughter, who served as a constant source of inspiration. She also makes me keep the faith in pursuing my career and being a real model for her.
I look forward to this new chapter as an Assistant Professor and am excited about the opportunities for growth, mentorship, and contributing to the academic community at James Madison University. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.”
We are endlessly proud of you and excited for this new chapter in your career, Hui. Although you are moving your whereabouts to Virginia, your lab family at UMBC won’t be too far away!
Researcher update of the month: Honour Booth
December 2023/January 2024
From Honour Shore Ai Lin Booth: Watchu ‘ono for?
“Not one but two laulau with fast kine chili pepper water on top a bed of sticky brown rice. Spoon meat from the shell. Auntie Cookie’s rum cake. Preserved lemon lemonade. Andagi. Fried ʻulu. Baked ʻulu. Really, ʻulu cooked any way. Pūlehu ribs with thin sliced raw sweet onion and ʻalaea. Mixed Icee with the wet li hing mui. Lūʻau stew over kalo paʻa. REAL Hawaiian style poke – not this saucy stuff y’all are serving with dragonfruit and shredded vegetables on rice…rude!
‘Watchu ʻono for?’ colloquially means ‘What do you want to eat?’, and to be honest the list goes on and on with things that do not exist here in Baltimore, MD. Or anywhere on the East Coast, for that matter. Prior to moving here from Oʻahu, I was assured that I would be able to at least find good pho. So far, the excellence of the pho as advertised by the name of the establishment was misleading. I am very skeptical to begin searching for a good izakaya spot.
Despite the letdown I have experienced finding the foods that I enjoyed eating at home, I have learned that the foods of my fellow islanders do not disappoint. Lamb curry. Jerk chicken…like real kine, not made with the powder seasoning. Maduros served with everything. A continent and half an ocean away, GOOD authentic Caribbean cuisine is hard to come by in Hawaiʻi. Developing a fondness for these delightfully spicy dishes that I could not get at home really reminds me how I convinced myself to move to Maryland in the first place.
Just as much as Hawaiʻi is a paradise destination like none other that so many covet to experience, for someone from an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean the East Coast is just as exotic. I didn’t come to Maryland to enjoy all of the things I love back home. I came here to learn about and appreciate the foods, the people, and the perspectives that can only be found here.”
The before and after of two laulau eaten by the author prior to moving.
Just as you appreciate the foods, people, and perspectives of Maryland, your vibrancy and perspective (and new food recommendations!) are equally appreciated. Thanks for adding to our Lab family, Honour!

Researcher update of the month: An Dang
November 2023
From An: “I had the opportunity to attend the 2023 AIChE [American Institute of Chemical Engineers] National Conference in Orlando, Florida. This year, our department was able to send 12 students to the conference to compete in ChemE Jeopardy, ChemE Car, and the K-12 Outreach competition (of which I was a part of). It was my first time at an AIChE conference, so there was a lot to take in. The highlight, of course, was our Jeopardy team winning 2nd place in Nationals, our ChemE Car had successful runs, and our K-12 module won first place for the 9-12 category! I felt extremely proud seeing my peers representing UMBC as we outperformed world-renowned institutions in all categories. And finally, I got to make a lot of memories with the seniors graduating with me!” Keep it up, An, and good luck with grad school applications! We are proud of you.
