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, from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, viewers can submit questions in real-time and express interest in collaborating. 

The Feb. 27, 2026 presenter lineup:

• Rohit Deshmukh, Ph.D., Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering: "Towards Scalable and Efficient Digital Twins of Multiphysics Systems"
• Rohith Venkatakrishnan, Ph.D., Department of Computer Science: "Towards Understanding the Relationship Between Cybersickness
  and Cognition in Virtual Reality"
