THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA

The University of Central Florida is one of the most dynamic universities in the country. Offering 223 degree programs, it has be-

come an academic and research leader in numerous elds, including optics and photonics, modeling and simulation, engineeringand computer science, business administration, education, science, hospitality management and digital media.

UCFs 1,415-acre main campus provides modern facilities, including a new events arena and a football stadium. The Universitynow has 12 colleges, including the newly established College of Medicine and College of Graduate Studies. In addition, UCF has10 nationally and internationally recognized research institutes, including CREOL, devoted to research and development. Morethan 50,000 students attend classes on UCFs main campus and its 11 regional campuses located throughout Central Florida,making UCF the 6th largest university in the US in total enrollment. UCF recently granted its 171,659th degree in its 39th year ooffering classes.

With its strong emphasis on leading-edge research as an integral part of education, UCF receives over $120M annually fromfederal, state and industry partners. With a commitment to mutually benecial partnerships, including innovative policies on intel-lectual policy and technology transfer, in 2008 the University of Central Florida joined prestigious research universities such as theMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University in the top 10 of the 2008 Patent Scorecard, which ranks technol-

ogy innovations gained from patents. In fact, UCF jumped from 21st to eighth to surpass Harvard University and the University ofWisconsin in the top 10. No other top 10 university realized a greater increase in ranking. The Patent Scorecard determines thestrength of a universitys patents as measured by how frequently they are cited in subsequent patents. The rankings were pub-lished in the September 2008 issue of Intellectual Property Today. UCF also ranked third in the industry impact category, whichmeasures the role a universitys patents play in serving as a foundation for other patents and technologies. The ranking signalsCentral Floridas emergence as a key intellectual capital contributor in the US and major component of the Florida High-TechCorridor and as the new hub for high-tech innovation in the 21st century.

RESEARCH AT CREOL, THE COLLEGE OF OPTICS & PHOTONICSFormed in 1986 as the Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL), CREOL, The College of Optics &Photonics at the University of Central Florida (UCF) is internationally recognized as one of the top academic and researchprograms in optics and photonics in the nation. The College is the rst program in optics and photonics to have achieved the

status of a full College, headed by a Dean. As a graduate college for optical science and engineering education and researchthe mission of the College is to:

Provide the highest quality education in optical science and engineering Conduct scholarly fundamental and applied research Aid in the development of technology-based industries throughout Florida and the nation.

The College offers interdisciplinary graduate programs leading to MS and Ph.D. degrees in Optics. CREOL, the Florida PhotonicsCenter of Excellence (FPCE), and the Townes Laser Institute, are research centers within the College. Through these researchcenters, the College fullls its mandate to be an international center of excellence in optics and lasers, in both research andeducation, and to act as an intellectual, scientic and technical resource to the laser, optics, and photonics industries.

The College has grown rapidly and now has 40 faculty members and faculty with joint appointments, 69 research scientists and146 graduate students with research activities covering all aspects of optics, photonics, and lasers. Research expenditures are~$20M annually, with ~25% of the funding coming from industrial partners, illustrating the effectiveness of the commitment topartnerships that is a foundational value of the College.

The research activities of the College faculty span the spectrum from basic science to prototype development, and the faculty vigorously pursue joint research projects with industry, academia, and government laboratories. The main facilities of theCollege are housed in a state-of-the-art 104,000 ft2 building dedicated to optics and photonics research and education. Aportion of the building functions as the UCF Photonics Incubator, an extension of the award-winning UCF Incubation Program

The College faculty collaborate closely with other UCF research units, including the NanoScience Technology Center (NSTC),the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences, the Advanced Materials Processing and Analysis Center (AMPAC), the Institute foSimulation and Training (IST), the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), and the UCF College of Medicine. Several College facultyhold joint appointments in these and other UCF departments, which facilitates access to the outstanding facilities in these unitsand encourages interdisciplinary research.

This booklet contains summary information on the research interests of the College faculty along with their contact coordinatesand a brief description of the laboratories and research facilities utilized by College researchers and their partners. Additionainformation is available from the faculty members and from the Colleges website: http://www.creol.ucf.edu/
