Then click "Search."  When you get search results, look for an exact name match.  if there are too many people with the same name, In the institution box, put "University of Maryland Baltimore County". Then click "Search." , and if you have one, go to the next step.  If that doesn't find anything, put "UMBC" in the institution Box and click search and look for an exact name match, and if you have one, go to the next step.
