Six UCF affiliated-individuals are already in the hall of fame. That\u2019s no surprise given UCF\u2019s role in the field. The university\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ist.ucf.edu\/\">Institute for Simulation and Training<\/a> (IST) is in the heart of Florida\u2019s High-Tech Corridor, which boasts one of the highest concentrations of simulation and training-related activities in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Hughes is well known in this field for his inventions and for preparing students to be critical thinkers ready to take on the realities of the ever-changing industry. That\u2019s one reason he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/interim-director-named-for-modeling-and-simulation-degree-program\/\">recently named interim director of the Modeling and Simulation degree program<\/a> within the School of Modeling, Simulation and Training (SMST). The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/computer-science-bs\/\">computer science<\/a> professor has taught, published, advised students and invented for more than 50 years within the field.<\/p>\n<p>Hughes has been recognized with teaching awards seven times between 1995 and 2015. He has more than 80 grants and contracts, three patents, and nearly 250 publications. There is no doubt that students across the globe have benefitted from his wisdom and insight within the industry, according to his colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot think of anyone more deserving of this honor than Dr. Charlie Hughes,\u201d says Wes Naylor, interim director of the School of Modeling, Simulation and Training.\u00a0\u201cCharlie has been a pioneer in this are of study and his work has moved both the practice and potential of virtual learning forward in a manner that will be appreciated for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hughes helped launch IST in 1982 and he is as passionate about the field today as he was then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing involved in modeling and simulation has been a passion and a pleasure,\u201d Hughes says. \u201cAs with my core discipline of computer science, [modeling and simulation] is constantly advancing, and it is that evolutionary aspect that has kept me young at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much of his research is implemented into virtual learning environments, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/pegasus\/kickin-new-school\/\">TLE TeachLivE project<\/a>, a valuable resource in the ever-changing landscape of educational settings. This simulation experience grants future educators the opportunity to practice teaching students in a simulated classroom setting.<\/p>\n<p>He is also founder and co-director of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sreal.ucf.edu\/\">Synthetic Reality Lab (SREAL)<\/a>, which involves the use of cutting-edge\u00a0virtual and augmented reality technologies\u00a0for simulation and training experiences.<\/p>\n<p>A large component of Hughes\u2019 journey involves mentorship of students. His fervor for seeing students both perform well in academic setting and in industry has never dwindled throughout his years as an educator.<\/p>\n<p>From high schoolers and undergraduate students to doctoral candidates, Hughes positions his students to pursue the accumulation of knowledge ceaselessly.<\/p>\n<p>While chasing technological insight drives Hughes, it is his students that keep him inspired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank all those whose shoulders I have ridden on and all those who have honored me as my students over these many years,\u201d says Hughes, \u201cI especially want to thank my TeachLivE collaborators whose creativity and desire to do both well and good have motivated me for the last decade and a half.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his career, Hughes also benefited from a strong support at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish to thank my tolerant family members who put up with my habits of programming and proving theorems until 4:00 a.m.,\u201d Hughes says.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, Hughes would be honored at an induction ceremony at the\u00a0NCS Hall of Fame\u2019s permanent installation within the Orange County Convention Center, but because of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/coronavirus\/\">COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, the festivities have been delayed until 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlie Hughes has dedicated
