- Sep 2310:00 AMMemento 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 Thursday, Sept. 12, from 5-7 p.m. - [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 Friday, Oct. 11, from 5-7 p.m. - [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.

- Sep 2412:00 PMCREOL 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.

He is the group leader of a young and highly motivated research group working in biotechnology, liquid crystals, nanotechnology, optics and bio-photonics. 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.

- Sep 241:30 PMAWS Data Lake and VisualizationWorking with large, complex research datasets requires efficient data management and analysis capabilities. This hands-on Amazon Web Services (AWS) workshop will teach you how to build a scalable data lake using AWS Lake Formation, unlock insights from that data through SQL queries in Amazon Athena and create compelling visualizations in Amazon QuickSight. By the end of the workshop, you'll have the skills to leverage the power of the AWS data analytics stack to support your research. To participate in the hands-on lab during the session, you will need to provide your own computer with a web browser and a reliable internet connection. This event is not being recorded. Any materials provided by the presenter will be sent to all registrants by the end of the second business day after the conclusion of the event. Please email ResearchITEvents@ucf.edu to request access to the materials two business days after the completion of the event if you did not register.Presented by [Gabriel Brackman](https://rci.research.ucf.edu/events/fall-2024-workshops-speakers/#gabriel-brackman) Registration Link: https://ucf.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8JwbXomBn4H64tg
- Sep 241:30 PMSpecial Lecture: Macrocosm Through Microcosm: History, Aesthetics and Interaction of the Chinese Zheng (zither)This special lecture is presented by Mei Han, professor of music at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and founding director of MTSU's Center for Chinese Music and Culture.This is part of the Reaching for the Stars as a Global Citizen: An Intellectual Journey of Asia and the World lecture series. This lecture series provides a rare opportunity for students to learn first-hand from esteemed scholars about one of the most important regions in the world today. Students from UCF's top-ranking schools and programs will develop a more comprehensive understanding on the cultural, political and economic forces that have shaped modern Asia through this Special Lecture Series. Asia has a major role in manufacturing, technology and investment markets. Non-governmental organizations specializing in economic development, healthcare and environmental protection also are active throughout Asia. The goal of this course is to help students become global citizens who look forward to the prospects of cooperation between Americans and Asians in building a better, conflict-free world in the 21st century.
