CECS Virtual Faculty Research Talks

New in 2020! The UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science's Zoom-cast series is live-streamed every Friday, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., offering four 10-minute talks by CECS faculty and a live-chat Q&A. 

Targeted to faculty, scientists and potential industry and government partners, all are invited to Zoom-in and hear presentations by UCF’s engineering and computer science faculty who explain their cutting-edge, pioneering research endeavors in quick, 10-minute snapshots. 

These talks provide an opportunity to get to know — and collaborate with — our faculty who are advancing innovations in all areas of engineering and computer science, including smart city technology, aerospace, energy, modeling and simulation, medicine, advanced materials, cyber security, and more. Each faculty presenter will narrate as they share illustrative slides.

Moderated by Subith Vasu, Ph.D., UCF Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, viewers can submit questions in real-time and express interest in collaborating. 

The June 26 faculty presenter lineup:

• Carolina Cruz-Neira, Ph.D., National Academy of Engineering member and Agere Chair Professor, Dept. of Computer Science: "Virtual Reality for Discovery, Training and Innovation"
• Aleksandar Dimitrovski, Ph.D., Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering: "Advanced Modeling and Control of Power Systems"
• Shawn Putnam, Ph.D., Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering: "Interfacial Transport Laboratory"
