A senior design teams under the direction of Dr. Seetha Raghavan has completed the design of a novel high speed spectroscopy system. The team developed a technique that enables piezospectroscopy in conjunction with high strain rate testing. This technique includes a novel approach to spectral peak shift tracking which utilizes a series of etalons, PMTs, and original software, capable of detecting photo-luminescent peak shifts as fast as a few microseconds. Congratulations to the team on their graduation.
Graduate and Undergraduate Researchers Give Tour to Hagerty High School Class
Graduate students Stephen and Sanna, and undergraduate students Imad, Alex, Hunter, and Mai welcomed a Hagerty High School Experimental Science class to the UCF Engineering department. The students were shown Dr. Seetha Raghavan’s research facility, as well as the new UCF innovation lab, and the College of Optics and Photonics.
Among the students visiting was Jack, a student mentored by Imad. Jack was awarded a number of awards both at the regional and state science fairs, and progressed to the international level.
