Modeling and Simulation News

ZuLeris Interactive, founded in 2023 by UCF students Zack Zuniga and Liam Etan ’24, is developing virtual training environments for electromagnetic defense scenarios.

UCF and the University of South Florida facilitated a two-day symposium where faculty from Florida universities and U.S. Department of Defense research and development officers collaborated on advancing critical technologies.

The change is intended to increase interdisciplinary research and partnership at UCF while furthering its reputation for excellence in modeling and simulation.

The simulation provides critical training that is harder to access after the pandemic due to concerns related to infectious diseases.

The public is taking notice of what researchers and corporations have known for years: Central Florida is one of the most valuable centers of tech research and talent in the nation.

The U.S. Department of Education awarded the School of Modeling, Simulation and Training a $1.155 million grant to start the new certificate program.

Located in Orlando’s thriving tech industry, UCF helps produce top-talent and innovative developments that drive this sector.

The university, despite having no airfield, is where industry leaders consistently mine for the best-trained and safest prospects.

Stephen Fiore, Jane Gibson, Jennifer Kent-Walsh and Marianna Pensky are the newest recipients of the university’s highest faculty honor.
