CECS Virtual Faculty Research Talks

The UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science's Zoom-cast series is live-streamed every other Friday, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., offering 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 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 April 11, 2025 presenter lineup:

• Christian Heide, Ph.D., Department of Physics and CREOL: "Controlling Electrons with Attosecond Precision: A Path Towards Room-Temperature Quantum Electronics"
• Mengjie Li, Ph.D., School of Modeling, Simulation and Training: "Data Driven Digital Twin in Effective Integration of Distributed Energy Resources"
• HanQin Cai, Ph.D., Department of Statistics and Data Science: "Zeroth-Order Regularized Optimization with Approximately Sparse Gradients and Adaptive Sampling"
