Research is more than a job for our faculty — it’s a desire to improve the world. At the UCF School of Modeling, Simulation and Training, our faculty strive to push the boundaries of innovative technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality, robotics, geospatial simulation, digital twins, biosensing and much more. Our reputation in research is strong and has led to the creation of several research centers and institutes that are housed within the department. Our faculty also manage their own laboratories where new discoveries are made every day. Explore them all below.
