Project: Access and utilization of health and social services for LatinX immigrants: Perspectives of service providers
Previous research has concluded that assumptions regarding the use of formal long-term care services do not "fit" with the pattern of use for LatinX elders. In the context of an increased aging LatinX population, it is necessary to connect elderly LatinXs to services they need, as they experience increasing levels of age-related functional limitations. This qualitative descriptive study uses phone interviews to explore service providers' perceptions of LatinX immigrant elders' access to, and use of, services in Hayward and the surrounding area. Service providers in this study (n ≈ 30) include those geared to working with immigrant families, as well as older adults in general, with the aim of providing community-based long-term care (e.g., nursing, personal care, or social services provided to older persons). A combination of purposive and snowball sampling strategies are used to recruit participants. Qualitative analysis of the data will identify relevant themes. Data from service providers will provide a nuanced perspective of the complex and interrelated barriers that LatinX immigrant elders face. Increasing our understanding of how LatinX elders utilize LTC services will contribute to proposing more appropriate and effective policies and practices in community service delivery programs.
Student-researcher expectations and responsibilities:

Faculty member: Dr. Ram Kandasamy
Discipline: Psychology, Neuroscience, Pharmacology
General description of Dr. Kandasamy's expertise:
Dr. Kandasamy has spent his entire career trying to identify new drugs to better treat and understand chronic
pain. He has extensive experience with the behavioral assessment of pain, pain relief, and side effects in
laboratory animals. These findings have resulted in several publications and presentations with Cal State East
Bay student co-authors.
Related majors for this project:
Any major, although a strong interest in the biomedical sciences is required.
Project:
Chronic pain is the number one cause of disability and affects over 1.5 billion people worldwide. Despite
decades of research, no new treatment options for pain have emerged in over 30 years. Further, the country's
"opioid epidemic", which has worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, has renewed interest in the discovery
of safer and more effective analgesics (i.e., painkillers). Although a wide range of novel drugs produce pain
relief in laboratory animal studies, these drugs have not translated into effective therapies for patients.
Students in the lab currently evaluate drugs that fall into two categories, Cannabis-related terpenes and newly
synthesized compounds, in laboratory rats to ensure that these drugs can produce pain relief without
behaviorally disruptive side effects.
1) Patients often use Cannabis to self-treat their pain. This effect is largely attributed to THC or CBD;
however, Cannabis contains thousands of molecules that are not THC or CBD. Thus, it is likely that
other molecules present in Cannabis produce pain relief and may do so without the side effects
associated with THC (e.g., sedation). The hypothesis is that minor chemical constituents (i.e., not THC
or CBD) present in Cannabis provide pain relief without disruptive side effects.
2) One way to improve the treatment of pain is to invent a new drug. That is, identifying new analgesics
requires chemically synthesizing new drugs that have never been identified before. To this end, the lab
works with Dr. Stevan Pecic, a chemist at California State University, Fullerton, an expert in the
medicinal chemistry of enzyme inhibitors. The hypothesis is that inhibiting two pain-related enzymes
simultaneously with a single drug will provide pain relief against acute and chronic inflammatory pain
with limited side effects.
Students in the laboratory are trained in animal behavior, behavioral neuroscience, and receptor
pharmacology to provide solutions to help create safe and effective therapies for chronic pain. Specifically,
students use a combination of rat models of acute/chronic inflammatory pain, behavioral observations, and
tests of mechanical/thermal hypersensitivity to evaluate pain-related behaviors in rats to identify drugs and
doses of drugs that may be promising therapies for treating chronic pain in humans.
Student-researcher expectations and responsibilities:
Most students work in the laboratory approximately 10 hours a week, although some put in much
more time including time on weekends. Similar hours are expected of new research assistants.
The majority of students volunteer, although there are opportunities to receive Psychology research
credit (PSYC 490).
Students have presented research results at local, national, or international meetings. An interest in
science communication and sharing findings with scientific and non-scientific populations is required.
Completion of Introductory Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry courses is highly
recommended. Completing the first research/statistics courses is also recommended.
Students in their sophomore year are most encouraged to inquire. Obtaining multiple years of
experience in research and presenting this research is most beneficial to the student and to the lab.

about a student-research position:
Please e-mail Dr. Kandasamy at ram.kandasamy@csueastbay.edu and briefly explain your interest in the
laboratory, your career goals, and your availability over the Summer/Fall/Spring semesters.
Faculty member: Dr. Stephen Asztalos
Discipline: Physics and Astronomy
General description of Dr. Asztalos's expertise:
My research interests lie in particle astrophysics and stellar evolution, specifically in better
characterizing the properties of Cepheid variables, which are massive, variable stars subject to
periodic oscillations used as standard candles hence, cosmological distance indicators.
Related majors for this project:
Physics and astronomy, computer science, geosciences
Project:
Cepheid variable stars are massive stars that have ceased burning hydrogen in their cores and
are on the evolutionary track to becoming red supergiants. Along their evolutionary paths they
enter a region of instability (driven by a temperature dependent opacity) that is manifested by
the expansion and contraction of their outer stellar envelopes. The resultant period versus
luminosity relationship transforms these objects into standard candles; the expansion of the
universe was discovered by Edwin Hubble using Cepheid variables as distance indicators. As
central as they are to modern cosmology, some of their properties remain poorly understood.
Specifically, there persists a significant discrepancy between their inferred and modeled masses,
whose resolution may improve their ability to anchor the Hubble diagram. Recent data from the
Las Cumbres Observatory will be used to test the accuracy of 1D stellar modeling codes and
discrepancies used to infer where improvements are needed in the models.
Student-researcher expectations and responsibilities:
• Work a minimum of 3-5 hours per week on your research project (CSR Scholar
requirement)
• Work and communicate enthusiastically with a small team that includes undergraduates
from other institutions, as well as more senior scientists
• Learn the basic elements of stellar astrophysics
• Modify, test and run existing stellar evolutionary code(s) and analyze their output

languages you have programming experience.
Faculty member: Dr. Jenny Hazlehurst
Discipline: Ecology
General description of Dr. Hazlehurst's expertise:
The Pollination Ecology & Conservation Lab @ CSUEB:
You have probably heard that pollinators, those helpful critters that move pollen from one flower to another and give us the abundance of wonderful plants ranging from wildflowers to major crops important to global food security, are in trouble. Pollinators are being threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. Research in my lab focuses on how pollinators (from flies to bees to hummingbirds) change how and what plants they eat in response to these changes, and what cascading effects those changes might have on the plants that depend on animals for pollination. My lab is also interested in using citizen science platforms like iNaturalist to both aid in scientific data collection and to improve scientific literacy outside of the scientific community.
Related majors for this project:
Biology, Earth & Environmental Science, Computer Science, Education, Communication, English, Art.
Project:
There are several projects available for students to work on as my new lab starts gearing up its research.
1. Using the iNaturalist app to document plant-pollinator networks in California
The lab needs a tech savvy individual with a love for nature to help manage and promote our iNaturalist project, The California Pollination Project (website: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/california-pollination-project ). Part of this project will involve learning to do network analysis in the program R.
2. Native bee diversity on CSUEB's campus
Did you know there are over 4,000 species of bees native to North America, and most are very different from the popular honey bee? Help the lab start to document native bee diversity on campus!
3. Pollination ecology of the Snowplant (Sarcodes sanguinea) in the Sierra Nevada
Snowplant is a fascinating parasitic plant that features a large, bright red inflorescence of flowers that sticks straight up out of the ground in the Sierra Nevada mountains after the first snows begin to melt. It also happens to be a preferred food for at least one species of migratory hummingbird species, the Calliope hummingbird ( Selasphorus calliope ).
4. Others…
Do you have an idea for a research project involving pollinators, native California plants, or science communication? I am very open to exploring opportunities for artists, writers, and educators as well as scientists. Let Dr. Hazlehurst know!

Project:
Project 1 is focused on factors that affect healthcare-related decision making among South Asians. One dataset comprises 10 focus group discussions with youth of South Asian origin. Data was collected from Cal State East Bay students in 2018 and is being analysed. Another dataset includes focus group discussions and interviews with healthcare providers with experience caring for seriously ill South Asians. Students will learn how to do a literature review and how to prepare a manuscript for submission to a peer reviewed journal.
Project 2 seeks to investigate issues around how to make advance care planning more popular among minorities and the knowledge-attitude-behaviors of young people towards advance care planning. Minorities are known to have low rates of advance directive completion. Advance care planning refers to behaviors such as completing a written advance directive (e.g., living will), appoint a durable power of attorney or having conversations with loved ones about the type of care one would desire if in the future one is not able to communicate one's decisions/preferences. This project will involve literature review, and may involve data collection and analysis.
Project 3 requires updating a literature review on collaboration among HIV agencies in the US, reviewing coding and possibly conducting a few interviews with HIV agencies' representatives. This requires a Master's level student.
