Events for UCF Researchers and the UCF Research Community
This workshop is targeted at a broad audience of researchers who want to learn how to be more efficient and effective in their data analysis and computing, whatever their career stage may be.The lesson is inspired by and based on the paper, Good Enough Practices in Scientific Computing (Wilson et al., 2017): “a set of good computing practices that every …
Office of ResearchComputational research can analyze models and/or data to reach new conclusions in faster ways or more complex scenarios. UCF has a 8,000+ core cluster for general-purpose computation for research across many fields of academic work, and a 54-node GPU cluster for specialized computation.This workshop will review capabilities of the UCF Advanced Research Computing Center in general, with a focus on …
Office of ResearchJoin Ben Keene and Nandan Tandon of the Office of Research's Cyberinfrastructure Facilitation team as they discuss how the National Science Foundation's ACCESS program can provide you with free computational resources for your research. NSF has granted $52 million over five years to advanced computational resource providers, and has developed an ecosystem to assist and accelerate computational research. Watch this …

Office of ResearchTitle: Nonlinear Intersubband Polaritonic Metasurfaces: from second-harmonic generation with beam shaping to widely-tunable THz sources Abstract: Quantum-engineered intersubband transitions in n-doped multiple-quantum-well heterostructures allow one to produce semiconductor films with very large nonlinear optical response. This nonlinear response can be further enhanced by processing semiconductor heterostructures as metasurfaces in which intersubband transitions are coupled to optical modes of the metasurface …
Office of ResearchTitle: Point Defects in Crystals: Trapped Atoms for Quantum Technologies Abstract: Point defects in crystals are the solid-state analog to trapped ions. Thus these “quantum defects”, which can be integrated into solid-state devices, have gained interest as quantum sensors and qubit candidates for scalable quantum networks. In this talk, I will introduce some of the basic quantum defect properties desirable …
Office of ResearchLearn the basics of Git (https://www.git-scm.com/) and version control using the command line in this hands-on workshop. Whether you're working on a coding project alone or with other people, version control can save you time and effort.This workshop is intended for new or novice Git users. Intermediate and advanced Git workshops are hosted periodically during Spring and Fall semesters. Please …
Office of ResearchLearn and develop techniques for professional collaborative work using the Git Flow workflow. In this hands-on workshop, we will cover working with remote repositories on GitHub (https://github.com) to push and pull code changes, submit pull requests, and merge branches for your projects using GitHub and the command line.Attendees should have experience creating repositories, making commits, and using GitHub prior to …
Office of ResearchThis workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of using Parallel Processing within the context of High-Performance Computing (HPC) with R. Attendees will gain an understanding of the benefits and limitations of HPC, learn about the available provider platforms, and practice logging in and running jobs through both Open OnDemand (OOD) and from the Command Line Interface (CLI). The session emphasizes …
Office of ResearchTitle: An operator-based approach to classifying topology in open and nonlinear systems Abstract: In this talk, I will provide an overview of some of the outstanding problems in the classification of topological materials in physical systems, and I will discuss how many of these problems can be addressed through the spectral localizer framework. For example, the chiral edge states that are guaranteed …
Office of ResearchTitle: Inverse designed, densely integrated classical and quantum photonics Abstract: Recent breakthroughs in photonics design, along with new nanofabrication approaches and heterogeneous integration play crucial roles in building photonics for applications including optical interconnects and quantum technologies. This design breakthrough is named photonic inverse design, and refers to efficiently searching through the space of all possible photonic device geometries, within fabrication …
