- 10:00 AM7hMemento Morididdle Exhibition by Charles ClaryMemento Morididdle Exhibition by Charles ClaryExhibition Dates: September 12, 2024 - October 11, 2024Charles Clary's Memento Morididdle installations take the form of Victorian or Rococo salon style walls, densely compacted with hundreds of frames, with each frame containing a paper sculpture. This maximalist approach to his installation practice achieves the desired outcome of overwhelming the viewer with an inundation of information. But unlike historic sitting rooms he collects his traumas, abuses, transgressions, and grief for exhibition. These memories are on display for all to see: no hiding, no masking, just raw truths. Not only are they my traumas, but they are often those of the viewers as well. Collectively we hurt, we grieve, and we lament the darkest moments in our lives. Instead of hiding behind walls, we can wear them as badges of honor and growth.Join us for the following:Opening Reception at UCF Art Gallery on Thursday, Sept. 12 from 5-7pm - [Register Here](https://www.ticketsource.us/ucf-art-gallery/opening-reception-memento-morididdle/2024-09-12/17:00/t-gagnldq) Closing Reception & Artist Talk at UCF Art Gallery on Friday, Oct. 11 from 5-7pm - [Register Here](https://www.ticketsource.us/ucf-art-gallery/closing-reception-artist-talk-memento-morididdle/2024-10-11/17:00/t-xmxpdjz)Parking: Free parking is available in Garage F next to the Addition Financial Arena.

- 12:00 PM1hCREOL Seminar: Luciano De Sio, Sapienza University of RomeTitle: Disordered metastuctures: from liquid crystal plasmonics to pathogens sensingAbstract: Metasurfaces have played a crucial role in the past 10 years for their intrinsic capability to manipulate light, producing unpredictable opportunities in optics and photonics. However, despite this premise, metasurfaces have limitations such as limited working areas and need active tunability. To overcome these limitations, we explored a new generation of metastructures by selfassembling plasmonic nanoparticles [1] on different substrates. The high degree of disorder and optimum interparticle distance allow this new generation of metastructures to be used in multidisciplinary research fields, ranging from optics [2] to biotechnology. [3,4]In this presentation, I will introduce a new generation of optical components that can be used in active light filtering thanks to the powerful combination of nematic and cholesteric liquid crystals. Additionally, by functionalizing these metastructures with biorecognition elements like antibodies, we have successfully utilized them for efficient pathogen detection in potable water and environmental samples. [5, 6] Our findings pave the way for creating versatile devices that can be efficiently utilized in other fields, including solar energy and neurobiology.References: 1\. Guglielmelli, A. et al.

Luciano spent more than five years in the United States as a senior research scientist at the Beam Engineering for Advanced Measurements Company in Orlando. He possesses extensive experience in photo-thermal therapy and reusable biosensors. He has co-authored 140 ISI-JCR publications in physics and biotechnology, several book chapters, 18 issued international patents and delivered more than 50 scientific communications at conferences. Luciano has coordinated several projects of the European Office of Aerospace Research & Development, supported by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. He is also the project director of an international Multi-Year Project supported by the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme that aims to realize a nanotechnology-inspired biosensor with photo-responsive liquid crystals.
