Title: Topological Acoustics Research @ NewFoSAbstract: The NSF-funded New Frontiers of Sound (NewFoS) Science and Technology Center at the University of Arizona leads a collaboration of scientists, engineers and educators -- including nine institutions of higher learning. NewFoS develops and applies insights from topological acoustics, more generally, geometric phase, to societal challenges. This talk will explore new one-way propagation of bulk waves, quantum analogues, and new sensing techniques for the built and natural environment. While topological protection of one-way propagation of edge modes (like topological insulators) has proven somewhat fragile, new one-way propagating acoustic waves have been identified in bulk systems. Acoustic metamaterials are used as platforms for quantum computing analogues. Non-destructive testing/evaluation of built infrastructure benefits from insights gained from geometric phase. Similarly, geometric phase changes in the natural environment can serve as signatures of significant events like the thawing of arctic permafrost.About the Speaker: Dr. Keith Runge is the knowledge transfer director of the New Frontiers of Sound (NewFoS) Science and Technology Center at the University of Arizona. NewFoS research exploits the full range of acoustic wave properties including geometric phase which leads to the emerging field of topological acoustics. Dr. Runge obtained a doctoral degree in physics from the University of Florida. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, he founded BWD Associates, LLC in 2004 which he owned and operated before taking his current position.Virtual Location URL: https://ucf.zoom.us/j/94331641354?from=addon

We look forward to seeing you in person at the National Entrepreneur Center in Orlando.Live Basic Event: In celebration of the Small Business Administration's (SBA) National Veteran Small Business Week, this workshop will address the role of the SBA Office of Veterans Business Development (OVBD) in maximizing the availability, applicability and usability of small business programs for veterans, service-disabled veterans, reserve component members and their dependents or survivors. OVBD is SBA's liaison with the military veteran's business community, providing policy analysis and reporting as well as an Ombudsman for veteran entrepreneurs. OVBD has several programs and services to assist aspiring and existing veteran entrepreneurs such as training, counseling and mentorship, and oversight of federal procurement programs for veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This workshop will present to you the programs and resources the SBA North Florida District has available for U.S. military veterans. In addition, this event is our way to thank veterans for their service during the SBA National Veterans Month celebration.This seminar is held at the National Entrepreneur Center located in the Orlando Fashion Square Mall.

With 60 percent of the world's population, Asia is not only home to the world's oldest civilizations, it also represents cultural and economic vitality. Asia has a major role in manufacturing, technology and investment markets. Non-governmental organizations specializing in economic development, healthcare and environmental protection are also active throughout Asia. This series will provide a rare opportunity for students and the community to develop a better understanding of the cultural, political and economic forces that have shaped modern Asia by hearing from esteemed international scholars.This lecture series will be presented as part of HUM3401 Asian Humanities throughout the Fall 2024 semester from 1:00 - 2:45 p.m. on the designated dates. All current UCF students, faculty and staff who are not enrolled in this class are welcome to attend by registering at the link below.See the full series and register at [Eurasian Lecture Series - College of Arts and Humanities (ucf.edu)](https://cah.ucf.edu/eurasia-lectures-2024/).Sponsored by the Eurasia Foundation (From Asia) Registration Link: https://cah.ucf.edu/eurasia-lectures-2024/
