Submit Art for Employee/Staff Art Show Attention artists of UConn Health: I am thrilled to announce that YOU will be the next special exhibit in our Connector Gallery between CT Tower and University Tower. Since I joined the team in January 2023, some of you who have shared your talents with me in conversation and I have encountered artwork by several past and present employees within our collection. It is time for another employee art show! Please send up to three (3) sample images of your art to arochester@uchc.edu by end of day Wednesday, July 30. Space is limited, so we will only display up to three (3) works per artist and no more than fifteen (15) at a time depending on size and availability of wall space. All artwork must have wire installed for hanging. All work on paper must be framed to ensure its protection. If selected and your work is not prepared for hanging, it will be turned away because it must be installed using our hanging system. To prevent safety hazards and/or accidental damage in this is high-traffic area, we will not display sculptures that require pedestals. If needed, contact me as soon as possible at arochester@uchc.edu and I can provide guidance on how to prepare your art for gallery display. Art selections will be made by a group of volunteers from our new art committee. Selection will be based primarily on collective themes and aesthetic complement to other submissions. If your work is not selected for this exhibit, please consider submitting again in the future. We will have more displays throughout the year. We look forward to viewing your art and celebrating your artistic talents at UConn Health.

Dissertation Title: Ultrafast Optical Pulse Generation and Supercontinuum Generation in Chalcogenide Waveguides Candidate: Ashiq Rahman Field of Study: Physics Join Ashiq Rahman, PhD candidate in Physics at the University of Connecticut, as he presents his dissertation titled "Ultrafast Optical Pulse Generation and Supercontinuum Generation in Chalcogenide Waveguides." His work focuses on the generation of picosecond optical pulses in fiber lasers using graphene saturable absorbers and the development of broadband mid-IR supercontinuum sources in nonlinear chalcogenide waveguides. The study emphasizes mode-locking techniques, spectral broadening simulations, and planar waveguide integration for compact photonic systems.
