Harrington’s duties will include overseeing UCF’s institutes and centers and research strategy councils; participating in collaborative efforts with the Faculty Senate Research Council; and assisting in implementing strategic research initiatives.

The new UCF innovations enable methane to be used in green energy production and to create high-performance materials for smart devices, biotechnology, solar cells and more.

Studying these signals can provide a better understanding of the early universe and of the sources of the gravitational waves, such as the movement of massive black holes merging in the center of distant galaxies.

The work will inform research into the origins of the solar system and is one of the most comprehensive studies of active centaurs and distantly active Jupiter-family comets.

The findings are critical for planning the flyby of the asteroid and give more insight into the role small debris and collisions play in forming the solar system.

The work can inform the study of asteroids like 16 Psyche, an M-type, or metal, asteroid NASA is launching a mission in October 2023 to visit.

The screening will be the Florida premiere of the film that tells the story of the rise, the fall and the future of what was once one of the world’s most powerful radio telescopes.

The finding defies the current understanding of the physics behind ring formation.

The work helps to demonstrate a new way to use the space telescope and opens the door to an advanced means of characterizing small objects in the distant solar system.
