Debasmita Banerjee earns national honors for her research and efforts to expand access to STEM education
NASA-funded research at CREOL is developing advanced photonic technology to help scientists discover distant planets and search for signs of life beyond Earth.
Navy-funded research by CREOL’s Eric Johnson and Keith Miller shows how engineered laser light can detect underwater sound with a single sensor, opening new possibilities for maritime sensing.
The designation recognizes his longstanding commitment to the engineering profession and the advancement of technology.
Published in Science Advances, the study explores how nonlinear photonic chips could support faster, more efficient information processing for future computing systems.
A five-year research program will explore new ways to understand and control light traveling through turbulent and complex environments, while helping launch a new chapter for UCF’s Townes Laser Institute.
The honorees are advancing discovery across fields ranging from transportation safety and quantum science to tourism, disaster resilience and emerging technology.
Long will bring experience spanning academia, government and industry to CREOL, where his research will focus on optical frequency combs and integrated photonics.
Delfyett will serve as Optica’s vice president beginning in 2027
The two awards provide nearly $850,000 to support Parto’s research in integrated photonics and emerging optical information systems.
During National Postdoc Appreciation Week, Sept. 21–25, the university celebrates the contributors of postdoctoral scholars, an important group on researchers who help drive innovation at UCF.
