Bringing people together through chemistry! The 2025 Southeastern/Southwest Joint Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society (SERMACS) brought more than 1,000 researchers, educators and students to Orlando. Hosted and organized by the ACS Orlando Section, the meeting received the ACS ChemLuminary Award for Outstanding Regional Meeting. UCF Chemistry faculty played a significant role in making the meeting happen, serving in leadership roles, organizing symposia, presenting their research and creating opportunities for students to participate and share their work. Meetings like SERMACS create connections that can lead to new collaborations, professional relationships and possibilities for students. “I think recognition like this is very valuable for UCF Chemistry and the College because it gives greater visibility to our research, our faculty and students, and the work being done at UCF. Hundreds of scientists came to Orlando for SERMACS, and many had the chance to interact with our faculty and students and learn about our research. I also hope the meeting encourages us to continue creating opportunities at UCF that bring scientists, alumni, students, and external partners together.” - Vasileios Anagnostopoulos, Associate Professor, UCF Department of Chemistry Congratulations on this achievement! #UCFCOS #Chemistry #AmericanChemicalSociety #ACS #ChemLuminaryAward by @ucfchemistry

🔬 UCF Chemistry research featured by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory! Congratulations to Dr. Tom Hopper, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at UCF, whose recent work published in Nature Photonics has been featured by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The study explores how high-energy electrons can generate exceptionally strong, ultrafast optical responses in semiconductors, with potential applications in advanced imaging, radiation detection, and sensing technologies. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is one of the nation’s premier research centers for accelerator science, photon science, materials, and ultrafast phenomena. It is great to see UCF Chemistry faculty research recognized through both a Nature Photonics publication and a feature from a leading U.S. national laboratory. 🔗 Read the SLAC feature: https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2026-09-03-ultrafast-electrons-and-lasers-open-possibilities-better-imaging-and-sensing #Chemistry #UCF #Nature #Photonics #spectroscopy Photo courtesy of SLAC News website (Ella Maru studio) taken in UCF Department of Chemistry by @ucfchemistry
