Dr. Peter Delfyett
Dr. Peter Delfyett sees the future and likes what he sees. The biggest opportunity UCF offers me is that it’s a growing, dynamic university. And I can help shape the future of the university.

He was invited to the White House to accept a National Science Foundation young scientist award. He’s been voted the Black Engineer of the Year. So why does Peter stay when he could work almost anywhere in the world?

Imagine being the first professor at the first college of optics and photonics in the nation — that’s a great opportunity.

Career opportunities. Future orientation. That’s UCF.
