CREOL Seminar and Federal Priorities information

This is a late notice, but here is information on two talks this Friday, 19 Sept, at CREOL that may be of interest to you. For the Federal Priorities topic, it will be at the start of a faculty meeting and focuses on discussing faculty ideas and federal priorities for potential earmark funding as Greg has been able to determine them at this point. CREOL has extended an invitation to the FPC members because of the College's commitment to partnerships with industry and the possibility that some joint effort ideas might result. A pizza lunch is provided also.

Jim Pearson
FPC Executive Director

CREOL Colloquium Series
11am - CREOL Building University of Central FloridaDr. Andre J. Gesquiere, UCF NanoSciences Technology Center
"A Nanoscale Spectroscopic Study of Chain Morphology in Conducting Polymer Materials for Optoelectronic Device Applications"
Abstract: The study of the photophysical and optoelectronic properties of a functioning conducting polymer device is extremely complicated and is hampered by the complex nanostructure and overall morphology of the conducting polymer materials applied in these devices. In this talk a novel approach to spectroscopically investigate this issue in terms of bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaic devices will be presented.

Federal Priorities Discussion
Greg Schuckman, Asst VP & Director, Governmental Relations, UCF
Noon - CREOL Building
Greg Schuckman will present information on the current government technology priorities and the procedures that faculty need to follow to pursue potential funding via the earmark process.
