The UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS)'s Zoom-cast series is live-streamed every other Friday from noon to 1 p.m., offering talks by CECS faculty and a live-chat Q&A.

Targeted to faculty, scientists, and potential industry and government partners, [all are invited to Zoom-in](https://ucf.zoom.us/j/95525633786) and hear presentations by UCF's engineering and computer science faculty who explain their cutting-edge, pioneering research endeavors in quick snapshots.

These talks provide an opportunity to get to know -- and collaborate with -- our faculty who are advancing innovations in all areas of engineering and computer science, including smart city technology, aerospace, energy, modeling and simulation, medicine, advanced materials, cyber security and more. Each faculty presenter will narrate as they share illustrative slides.

Moderated by Subith Vasu from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, viewers can submit questions in real time and express interest in collaborating.

The Oct. 31, 2025, presenter lineup:

* Yao Li, School of Modeling, Simulation and Training: "Empowering Users in Real-Time Privacy Management"
* Shin Young Jeong, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering: "Sand-Like Particles for High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage: Enabling a Resilient Renewable Energy Future"
* Gerd Bruder, Department of Computer Science: "Recent Advances in Human Factors and Digital Twins in Extended Reality"
