ECE Assistant Professor Yuxiao Yang recently published a paper at Nature Biomedical Engineering, titled “Modelling and prediction of the dynamic responses of large-scale brain networks during direct electrical stimulation”.

With generous support of Dr. Raj Mittra, the Mittra Antenna, RF and Microwave Integrated Systems Laboratory is dedicated today. Dr. Mittra, a Courtesy Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is a world-renowned scholar in EM.

Smart Infrastructure Data Analytics Laboratory is opened as the newest research lab in the ECE Department. It focuses upon real-time data analytics, learning and control for such infrastructure systems as smart building management, renewable energy and digital grids, and smart communities. The lab further enhances the existing collaborations among UCF faculty and students, Siemens, UCF Facility, Duke Energy, OUC, and City of Orlando, as well as the larger FEEDER Center. A Siemens-UCF Ideation Workshop was held to kick off R&D activities in the lab.

UCF in partnership with EPRI is hosting an OpenDSS workshop on July 26-27. OpenDSS is an open-code power distribution system simulator developed by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) that is used widely in academia and the power industry. OpenDSS tutorials will be provided and new features such as parallel simulations and graphics user interface will be introduced by Roger Dugan and Davis Montenegro from EPRI, and UCF will present a multi-agent framework of the OpenDSS for DERs and grid-edge controls/optimization.
