REACH FOR THE STARS
DR. RONALD DEMARA joined UCF in 1992, fresh from his doctoral program after previously working at IBM as an electrical engineer. At the time, UCF was one of the smaller universities in the United States with a graduate degree program in his field of microprocessor hardware design. His research since then has centered on making computer chips more compact, reliable and greener. Microprocessors are ubiquitous today, fulfilling vital roles ranging from thermostats to robotic vacuums.
While DeMara has had international success with his research, he is innovating ways to help students learn.
“I created an infrastructure called the Evaluation Proficiency Center so students can take their exams online, giving graduate teaching assistants and faculty more time to help tutor,” DeMara says.

“Knowledge provides the opportunity to contribute.”

DR. JOSEPH HARRINGTON is an internationally renowned planetary scientist and a key member of UCF’s Planetary Science group. His research centers on exoplanets, or planets that orbit stars other than the sun. He also has an asteroid named after him: Joeharrington.
“Once I got here, the research group I founded made the first separate detection of day and night on an exoplanet and the first detection of disequilibrium chemistry on an exoplanet, which is a potential sign of life,” Harrington says. “We developed the methods we will use to detect life, once we have telescopes powerful enough to make the right measurements of planets that are hospitable to life.”
His work has been featured on the cover of the journal Science and has had several publications in Nature, bringing worldwide publicity for UCF.

DR. JULIA LISTENGARTEN is a theatre professor in a league of her own. Not only does she create and direct theater performances, she also writes about contemporary playwriting and theatre making – she’s published four books and over 20 articles in leading peer-reviewed journals.
Dean Jeffrey Moore describes her as dynamic.
“Julia is very diverse in her commitments. She has published with major journals but still has time to ‘run things’ at Theatre UCF,” he says. “She’s never satisfied with the status quo and cares deeply about the program and our students. She always goes the extra mile.”
While Listengarten says seeing her students up on stage is her biggest joy as a professor, she’s also been involved in two large, collaborative projects.
PEGASUS PROFESSOR ‘20
“The arts foster creativity and inspire change.”

“Virtual reality has long been a dream. Finally, it is a reality.”
DR. GREGORY WELCH
is not a nurse, he is a computer scientist and engineer. So why is he in the College of Nursing? Dean Mary Lou Sole has called his appointment an “experiment.”
“He was our first faculty to be a non-nurse,” Sole says. “What would a computer scientist bring to us? He brought us his computer science knowledge to help us address clinical questions related to healthcare.”
One of those needs was how students practice on patients. It’s important for students, whether they are studying to become nurses or physicians, to learn how to interact with patients, and to diagnose things such as a stroke. Welch and his team developed the very first physical-virtual patient.
“It looks a little bit like a department-store mannequin.”
