Explore …no place like home by Tenee Hart at the [UCF Art Gallery](https://cah.ucf.edu/gallery/exhibit/no-place-like-home-by-tenee-hart/) from Aug. 22 - Sept. 26.Exhibition Statement:"Being at-home is a matter of how one feels or how one might fail to feel." - Sara AhmedThe conflicted sense of home is where this exhibition begins. Destabilizing the romanticized concept of home, this exhibition will challenge the representation of this ideology by exploring various facets of home across multiple planes of identity including culture, gender, and sexuality. In …no place like home the works will both physicalize and undercut domestic connotations, becoming an anti-monument that calls attention to its own unstable foundation - this idea of home as comfort or discomfort. Dedicated to such ideas of home, this exhibit will include works that stem from the artist's personal childhood nostalgia and the unforgiving chokeholds such memories can create.To learn more about this exhibition, click [HERE.](https://cah.ucf.edu/gallery/exhibit/no-place-like-home-by-tenee-hart/)

Event: Webinar hosted by Debashis Chanda and presented by Laser Focus WorldTitle: Building an Uncooled Infrared Camera based on 1-Atom-Thick GrapheneSummary: Debashis Chanda, a professor at UCF's Nanoscale Technology Center, and his team recently developed a technique to detect long-wave infrared (LWIR) photons of different wavelengths--it analyzes materials by their spectral properties, or spectroscopic imaging, as well as thermal imaging.In this webinar, Chanda will describe how he and his team reached beyond the limitations of existing LWIR to create a highly sensitive, efficient, and dynamically tunable method based on nanopatterned graphene. The result? No existing cooled or uncooled detectors offer such dynamic spectral tunability and ultrafast response.This work has potential applications capturing thermal imaging or night vision, as well as medical imaging, spectroscopy and space exploration.About the Speaker: Debashis Chanda is a professor, jointly appointed with NanoScience Technology Center, Department of Physics and CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics. Chanda received his Ph.D. from University of Toronto. His Ph.D. work was recognized in the form of several awards, including prestigious National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) fellowship. Chanda completed his post-doctoral research with Prof. John A. Rogers at Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Quite a few of this research works were extensively covered by National Science Foundation news, BBC, Daily Mail, NBC, Fox, Science Radio and other national/international media outlets. His research has appeared on American Scientist magazine as a featured article where it outlined how companies like Intel, Toshiba, etc. are trying to adopt some of the printing techniques developed by his group. Chanda is a recipient of the 2012 DOE Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) Solar Energy Future Direction Innovation Proposal Award, 2013 NSF Summer Institute Fellowship and International Displaying Future Award-2016 by Merck Germany, UCF Reach of the Stars Award (2018), Samsung Global Research Outreach (GRO) Award (2022), Sony Research Award (2022), Cleantech Faculty Innovation Award (2024), UCF Research Initiative Award (2025).Virtual Location URL: https://www.laserfocusworld.com/webinars/webinar/55303987/building-an-uncooled-infrared-camera-based-on-1-atom-thick-graphene Registration Link: https://www.laserfocusworld.com/webinars/webinar/55303987/building-an-uncooled-infrared-camera-based-on-1-atom-thick-graphene

A UCF Literacy Symposium EventIn this presentation, participants will hear from two sets of instructional support providers in disciplinary literacy at the secondary level. In Wyoming's Fremont County School District 1 (Lander), Cami Kostreva and Kristy Nelson have worked alongside teacher leaders from various content areas who have volunteered to partake in disciplinary literacy-focused professional development cohorts. Currently, professional development has been designed for these cohorts to continue learning over a span of three years, each year delving deeper into disciplinary literacy learning, instructional implementation and student apprenticeship. In Park County School District 6 (Cody), innovative integration of evidence-based adolescent literacy instruction has been the center of the school's 3-year initiative to improve reading. Stephany Anderson will introduce listeners to one high school grappling with the understanding and implementation of the science of reading across Tier 1, 2 and 3 instruction. The school's journey began with interdisciplinary cohorts inquiring into the application of disciplinary literacy supports and integrating those supports into interdisciplinary, place-based outdoor education, and the establishment of a Literacy Lab with Tier 2 literacy intervention and progress monitoring. Finally, the school provided instructional training to enhance computer-based Tier 3 intervention and purchased foundational literacy instructional materials that reflect adolescent culture. In both cases, these instructional leaders will describe their work with teachers and explain the successes, struggles, and lessons learned. Leslie Rush, a university-based consultant supporting both, will engage the audience in a discussion about the potential for disciplinary literacy professional development. Presenters: Stephany Anderson, Literacy Interventionist, Park County School District #6, Wyoming; Kristy Nelson, Instructional Facilitator, Fremont County School District #1, Wyoming; Camriel Kostreva, Literacy Specialist, Fremont County School District #1, Wyoming; Leslie Rush, Wyoming Excellence Chair in Literacy Education, University of WyomingVirtual Location URL: https://ucf.zoom.us/meeting/register/7CLpZqjSQw2khm5_7BrLtA Registration Link: https://ucf.zoom.us/meeting/register/7CLpZqjSQw2khm5_7BrLtA Registration Info: Register in advance for this event.
