Now on its 11th year, the Hidden Artists Exhibit will once again be on display at the John C. Hitt Library main floor from August 1, 2018 – September 28, 2018. The artwork on display will include a variety of styles, subjects, mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, jewelry, and mixed media. The exhibit will feature the talents of Maribel Amaro-Garcia, Kimberly Berry, Gina Clifton, Pamela Williams Gruen, Dawn Herrod, Jacqui Johnson, Meredith Malkin, Russ Muller, Judy Bragg Pardo, Brian Pate, Chris Saclolo, M.C. Santana, Paul Viau, and many more artists within UCF.
Reception is September 13, 2018, from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. at the library in Room 223. Open to the public. There will be refreshments and the opportunity to talk with the artists.
For more details about the exhibit and Hidden Artists group, please contact Chris Saclolo at christopher.saclolo@ucf.edu.

University of Central Florida
Abstract: Through particle size and/or composition control, the emission wavelength of quantum dots (QDs) and metal halide perovskites (MHPs) can be precisely tuned to cover entire visible spectra, with outstanding color purity and high luminescence efficiencies. Both material systems can work in either photoluminescence (PL) or electroluminescence (EL) mode. In this talk, I will report our recent developments on both EL QD devices and PL MHP materials. For QDEL, I will focus on exploring emerging, high value-added photomedical light source markets. Recent developments of flexible QLEDs will be discussed, which promise to enable the widespread clinical acceptance of photomedical strategies for cancer treatments, wound repair or aesthetics. For PL MHP materials, I will discuss a versatile swelling-deswelling microencapsulation (SDM) strategy that has recently been developed to achieve highly stable metal halide perovskite nanoparticle-polymer composites (MHPNPCs). We envision that the outstanding green MHPNPCs could work synergistically with other state-of-the art red downconverters (i.e. quantum dots or narrow band phosphors) and enable low cost, efficient, color-vivid, and cadmium free back light unites (BLUs) for liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
Biography: Dr. Yajie Dong is an assistant professor in NanoScience Technology Center of the University of Central Florida with Joint Appointment in Department of Materials Science & Engineering & College of Optics and Photonics. He received his BS and MS degrees from Tsinghua University of Beijing, China and his PhD degree from Harvard University. Before joining UCF in 2014, he worked as a Senior Scientist at QD Vision Inc and a postdoc associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is an associate editor of Optics Express and a member of Emissive Display (EMD) subcommittee of SID Technical Program Committee. He is broadly interested in materials challenges in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics and energy technologies. His current research focuses on luminescent quantum dot and metal halide perovskite materials and devices.

We look forward to hearing what your dreams and aspirations are for UCF and what we should either continue to do or change in order to make that our reality.
Together, we will create a bold, new future.

]]>Part 1: Citation Metrics & Measuring Impact: Citation metrics provide quantitative data used to evaluate the impact of a scholar’s research. Several methods and tools exist to assist scholars with obtaining information about citation counts and impact data, such as ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar, and other citation counting tools by discipline. Metrics also assist scholars with identifying key journals and notable researchers in their field.
Part 2: Managing Researcher Profiles: In part two of the workshop we’ll discuss why it’s important to develop an online profile as a researcher, how to promote your work and connect to other researchers, and look at several sites in depth. See what ORCID, LinkedIn, Research Gate, Academia.edu, PIVOT, Plum Analytics, and Google Scholar can do for you. Please bring your laptop if you would like to follow along with the presentation.
Students must register for all workshops through their myUCF Student Center under Graduate Students then Pathways to Success.

Modules
The first of the film series is Undressing Israel: Gay Men in the Promised Land
When many people think of Israel, it is often in terms of modern war or ancient religion. But there is much more to the Jewish state then missiles and prayers. In his debut as a documentary filmmaker, adult-film entrepreneur and political columnist Michael Lucas examines a side of Israel that is too often overlooked: its thriving gay community. Undressing Israel features interviews with a diverse range of local men, including a gay member of Israel's parliament, a trainer who served openly in the army, a young Arab-Israeli journalist, and a pair of dads raising their kids. Lucas also visits Tel Aviv's vibrant nightlife scene-and a same-sex wedding-in this guided tour to a country that emerged as a pioneer for gay integration and equality.
