All are invited to Zoom-in and hear presentations by UCF’s engineering and computer science faculty, as well as faculty from other colleges and units at UCF, who explain their cutting-edge, pioneering research endeavors in quick, 10-minute snapshots. Guest speakers from industry and government are also invited to present the core business of their organization and how it relates to UCF’s interests.
These talks provide an opportunity to get to know — and collaborate with — our faculty who are advancing innovations in all areas of engineering, science and medicine. Talks by our non-UCF guests can facilitate connections with interested UCF faculty. Each presenter narrates as they share illustrative slides.
Topics include: smart city technology, aerospace, energy, modeling and simulation, medicine, advanced materials, cyber security and more.
Moderated by Subith Vasu, Ph.D., professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, viewers can submit questions in real-time and express interest in collaborating. Organizers: Michael Georgiopoulos, Ph.D., dean (michaelg@ucf.edu), Subith Vasu, Ph.D., (Subith@ucf.edu) and Jennifer Sutton (Jennifer.Sutton@ucf.edu)
