Join us at UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management, Darden Auditorium, Friday, September 20, 2019, 3 p.m., for an EXCLUSIVE opportunity to engage with Latin GRAMMY® winner Aymée Nuviola.
Students can meet with entertainment industry leaders in an informal setting. Lecture, Q&A session and performance by Aymée Nuviola.
This event is part of the Latin GRAMMY® Master Series, presented by the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation, in collaboration with UCF and Top Stop Music. This event is FREE! No tickets required.
ABOUT AYMÉE NUVIOLA:
Aymée Nuviola is a Cuban singer, pianist, composer and actress. Nuviola is known for playing Celia Cruz in the TV Series “Celia.” She received a Latin GRAMMY for Best Tropical Fusion Album for her album “Como Anillo Al Dedo” at the 19th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards. At the 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards, her album “First Class to Havana” was nominated best Tropical Latin Album. In May 2019, Nuviola released an album and documentary titled “A Journey Through Cuban Music,” a heartfelt tribute to the music and culture of the country that saw her grow and become an artist. Her music is heavily influenced by a variety of genres including classical, jazz, pop, bossa nova, bolero, among others. Some of her other albums include songs like “Donde Estabas Anoche,” with Septeto Santiaguero, “El Regreso A La Habana,” and “Todo Se Olvida.”
ABOUT THE LATIN GRAMMY CULTURAL FOUNDATION:
The Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation was established by The Latin Recording Academy® to promote
international awareness and appreciation of the significant contributions of Latin music and its makers to the world's culture, and to protect its rich musical legacy and heritage. The Foundation's primary charitable focus is to provide scholarships to students interested in Latin music with financial needs, as well as grants to scholars and organizations worldwide for research and preservation of diverse Latin music genres. Take action in supporting our mission by donating today via our Facebook page. For additional information, please visit us at www.latingrammyculturalfoundation.com.

]]>ABSTRACT:
Today, our high-speed digital processors and commercial communication systems operate in the Gigahertz range (GHz). Terahertz spectrum (THz), however, lies three orders of magnitude higher in frequency and can provide enormous bandwidths for hyper-spectral imaging, molecular sensing and high-speed communication. But this region of spectrum has seemed scarcely utilizable. The bottleneck appears to be the lack of power-efficient integrated sources and detectors with high levels of tunability and signal complexity.
In this talk, I will first report on the current status of commercial THz technology followed by the outcomes of the integrated electronics research in the last decade. Next, I will present new silicon-based signal generation and detection paradigms that can utilize the entire spectrum with high levels of signal complexity, beamforming capability, and orders of magnitude higher DC-to-THz efficiency, when compared to laser-based optical methods or traditional signal generation techniques. Ultra-short pulse radiating arrays will be presented that are used in laser-free broadband gas spectroscopy and THz imaging. I will then conclude the talk by a brief summary and future research directions.
