- Sep 910:00 AMCapability Statement Boot CampCapability Statement Boot Camp powered by the APEX Accelerator at UCF.A capability statement is a popular piece of marketing collateral in government contracting. It's a one-page summary of the business, much like a company resume, that can be a great tool to introduce your business. A capability statement won't be the only piece of marketing collateral that you use in government contracting, but it can be a great first step.Kara Vernon and Steve South of the APEX Accelerator at UCF will present a detailed introduction to the capability statement and how it can be used in government contracting. Highlights will include:* An overview of the capability statement * A review of key components of a capability statement, including core competencies, differentiators and past performance * The importance of customizing your capability statementKara and Steve will also review some example capability statements as part of their discussion, with the hope that there will be at least one or two clients who are willing to have their capability statements reviewed in front of the audience.Join us for this training session focused on the cornerstone of your government contracting marketing effort!Virtual Location URL: https://events.blackthorn.io/en/6g3Q8Wa7/capability-statement-boot-camp-5a1e6g4Tun5/overview Registration Link: https://events.blackthorn.io/en/6g3Q8Wa7/capability-statement-boot-camp-5a1e6g4Tumv/overview
- Sep 93:00 PMHireside Chat: How Did I Get Here? With Cassie MuffleyJoin Cassie as she shares her journey from a blue collar upbringing in rural Montana to national director of a network of technology innovation centers. Letting go of a rigid career plan and following the opportunities took Cassie on a non-traditional path that went beyond the life of an engineer she imagined for herself. She'll share the wisdom she gained along the way, things she wishes she knew while still in college, and how she uncovered and leaned into seemingly unrelated superpowers and how you can too.Find more details [here](https://ucf.startuptree.co/event/s/ceoJv5buvN4zk3Biki9Q7n/How-Did-I-Get-Here%253F).Virtual Location URL: https://ucf.startuptree.co/event/s/ceoJv5buvN4zk3Biki9Q7n/How-Did-I-Get-Here%253F
- Sep 93:30 PMMathematics Colloquium by Dr. Wissam GhantousThe UCF [Mathematics Colloquium](https://sciences.ucf.edu/math/research/colloquium/), held every Monday from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in MSB 318, offers a diverse platform for research scholars, faculty, students, and industry experts to share and exchange ideas, fostering discussion and networking across various areas of mathematics.Dr. [Wissam Ghantous](https://sciences.ucf.edu/math/person/wissam-ghantous/), our new faculty member in the Cyber Security and Privacy Cluster, will speak at this week's colloquium on the topic of a symmetric symbol for triples of modular forms.Abstract: We introduce a new quantity based on the Garrett-Rankin L-function and show that it satisfies symmetry relations when permuting the three inputted modular forms. We also provide computational evidence confirming that it is indeed cyclic when the modular forms have even weights, and provide counter-examples in the case containing odd weights. To do so, we develop algorithms to compute ordinary projections of nearly overconvergent modular forms as well as certain projections over spaces of non-zero slope. Finally, a curious consequence of our work is an efficient method to calculate certain Poincare pairings in higher weight.

- Sep 1812:00 PMCREOL Colloquium: Kareem Ahmed, University of Central FloridaTitle: High-Speed Compressible Turbulent Reacting Flows From Hypersonics and Energy to Space Rockets and Exploding StarsAbstract: High-speed reacting flows power our everyday life on earth through the heart of many energy generation and propulsion systems such as gas turbines, internal combustion and jet engines. They also power the universe through energy produced in stars, such as in the sun and in the most powerful explosions known in the universe: supernovae explosions.High-speed compressible turbulent reacting flows imposes numerous fundamental challenges driven by significant compressibility effects and strong coupling between exothermic reactions and the turbulent flow. Such combustion regimes are fundamental to the operation of many modern propulsion applications, from gas-turbine/jet engines to scramjets and rotating detonation engines.This presentation will provide an overview of a range of phenomena recently discovered in experimental studies of high-speed, compressible, turbulent reacting flows. The topics include intrinsic instabilities of reacting turbulence, flame-scale turbulence production, the onset of catastrophic transitions, spontaneous runaway mechanism of fast turbulent flames as well as the non-linear compressible combustion regime. Challenges presented by these findings will be discussed based on fundamental understanding of high-speed compressible turbulent reacting flows.About the Speaker: Dr. Ahmed is a professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Central Florida (UCF), a faculty of the Center for Advanced Turbomachinery and Energy Research and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion. Before joining UCF, he was faculty at Old Dominion University. Prior to that, he was a senior aero/thermo engineer at Pratt & Whitney Military Engines working on advance engine programs and technologies (F35 and F22 programs). He also served as faculty at Florida State University. At UCF, Dr. Ahmed leads creative and technologically crucial research in advanced propulsion and energy research focusing on hypersonic and supersonic turbulent reacting flows, deflagrations and detonations, high-speed compressible turbulent flows, and advanced laser optical diagnostics through experimental research and physics-based models with more than $27.9 million in research funding. The research has a broad impact in terms of applications for hypersonics (featured in PNAS), space and jet propulsion, power generation and gas turbine engines, fire safety and extends to supernova science (exploding stars, featured in Science). He has authored over 286 scholarly articles and leads a large research group of 53 students and post-docs.Virtual Location URL: https://ucf.zoom.us/j/97021161245?from=addon
