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/)

Title: Quantum Optics and Confinement Control in Engineered Photonic NanomaterialsAbstract: Naturally abundant materials--such as silicon, metals and van der Waals (vdW) materials--exhibit excellent optical properties, making them well-suited for use in both classical and quantum photonic integrated circuits. By sculpting these materials under extreme conditions, including high pressure, mechanical strain and intense light fields, one can unlock vast opportunities for on-demand engineering of their photonic properties. In the first part of the talk, we will employ thermomechanical processing under carefully controlled pressures and temperatures, allowing for record-rate manipulation of 1D and 2D vdW materials, as well as modulation of phonon-polariton dispersion by more than 10% through stoichiometric control. We will proceed to show that engineered photonic integrated circuits enable multimodal addressing of tightly spaced trapped-ion chains. Finally, we will demonstrate that bright single-photon sources can be realized through the use of tailored nanophotonic resonators and atomic-scale material design. Such extreme-engineered materials open new frontiers in nanophotonics, offering powerful modalities for creating optoelectronic devices with tunable properties for telecommunications and quantum information technologies.About the Speaker: Maxim Shcherbakov is an assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine, with joint appointments in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Materials Science and Engineering. His research is at the intersection of quantum photonics, nonlinear optics and nanostructures, with a particular focus on quantum-engineered materials for next-generation optical technologies. Before joining UCI, Shcherbakov was a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University, following his Ph.D. in Physics from Lomonosov Moscow State University. His work has been recognized with major honors, including the NSF CAREER Award, the DARPA Young Faculty Award, Director's Award and a Blavatnik Postdoctoral Finalist distinction. He has authored over 60 peer-reviewed publications and leads multiple nationally and internationally funded research efforts in quantum and nonlinear optics.Virtual Location URL: https://ucf.zoom.us/j/93442937025?from=addon

AboutOutdoor Adventure is proud to partner with Ranger Rick's SCUBA Adventure, one of the most experienced scuba dive outfitters, for our entry-level NAUI SCUBA certification course. This course is available for students who are currently enrolled and taking classes at UCF.Upon successful completion of this course and check-out dives, graduates are considered competent to engage in open water diving activities without supervision, provided the diving activities and the areas dived approximate those of training. No previous SCUBA experience is required; however, basic swimming skills are necessary to complete the course.Cost The total cost of the certification is $320 with $40 due at the time of registration. The rest of the price is due the first weekend of the certification paid to Ranger Rick SCUBA Adventures.ScheduleIn order for the participant to receive the SCUBA certification, they must complete two consecutive weekends of training. The first weekend encompasses classroom work and practice dives in the pool. Normally, the first weekend includes Friday night, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. For the second weekend, our instructor will pick either Saturday or Sunday to complete the Open Water Dives. There will be some adjustments to this schedule in Summer 2024, as you can see below.Current Certification Dates:* June 2025 Certification* * June 6-8 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive* * June 15 - 2nd Check-Out Dive* July 2025 Certification* * July 11-13 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive* * July 20 - 2nd Check-Out Dive* September 2025 Certification* * September 12-14 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive* September 21 \- 2nd Check-Out Dive* October 2025 Certification* * October 10-12 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive* * October 19 - 2nd Check-Out Dive* November 2025 Certification* * November 14-16 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive* * November 23 - 2nd Check-Out Dive* January 2026 Certification* * January 23-25 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive* * February 1 - 2nd Check-Out Dive* February 2026 Certification* * February 20-22 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive* * March 1 - 2nd Check-Out Dive* April 2026 Certification* * April 3-5 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive* * April 12 - 2nd Check-Out Dive* May 2026 Certification* May 15-17 - UCF Classroom Session, Pool Session, 1st Check-Out Dive * May 24 - 2nd Check-Out DiveOpen Water DivesThe second weekend of the certification will be when the students can complete their open water dives. These dives take place either at Devil's Den, Blue Grotto, KP Hole or Blue Heron Bridge. This is a full-day commitment. Transportation is not included.EquipmentA SCUBA-quality mask, snorkel, wetsuit, fins, and SCUBA booties are the student's responsibility to bring to all dive sessions. These pieces can be rented through the Outdoor Adventure Center and is included in the course fee. This equipment is subject to availability. All other equipment and materials are provided by Ranger Rick SCUBA Adventures.RegistrationYou can now register and pay your deposit online [here!](https://ucfrwc.org/Program/GetProgramDetails?courseId=b447c8fc-c048-4a21-9aae-bc6fa4de4aba&semesterId=e779d5c4-726f-488e-b1f4-2f72e53e3d8e) You can also come into the Outdoor Adventure Center during open hours to register in person online.Important Links[Ranger Rick SCUBA](http://www.rangerrickscuba.com/)[Outdoor Adventure Center](../2970225/2319548/facilities/outdoor-adventure-center) Registration Link: https://ucfrwc.org/program?classificationId=7e94c055-5e69-4046-8e3d-96909ff99f22
