In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’ve taken the time to compile some of ECE Florida’s women inventors (patent holders). Know of any more? Email communications@ece.ufl.edu and we’ll add them here.
| Who | Description |
|---|---|
| Dr. Janise McNair | A technology to share ad hoc social messages without being connected to WiFi or the Internet (think of a personal Twitter within your social group only). Social messages can automatically be passed and carried from one friend to another as you walk by them on campus. |
| Dr. Jessica Meloy with Dr. Mark Sheplak | Jessica developed the interface circuitry for a MEMS sensor enabling a direct measurement of wall shear stress. This sensor helps characterize aerodynamic drag and is now part of NASA research facilities. |
| Dr. Seahee Hwangbo with Dr. Y.K. Yoon | Tiny antennas integrated in glass wafers are invented. The antennas enable chips and boards to wirelessly communicate each other using broadband signals, allowing high speed computation and massive data transmission for the 5G and IoT era. |
| Dr. Gloria J. Kim, with Dr. Y.K. Yoon | A smart mouthguard integrated with multiple sensors, a microprocessor, and a wireless electronics has been invented. This device enables the diagnosis, quantification, and management of i.e. bruxism while wearing the device. |
| Dr. Christy L. She, with John G. Harris, Jose C. Principe | Low power, wavelet-based spike detector to be used for neural recording in brain-machine interfaces |
| Dr. Du Chen, with John G. Harris, Jose C. Principe | Device and methods for biphasic pulse signal coding to efficiently record neural recordings and transmit them outside the body |
| Dr. Qing Yang, with Dr. John G. Harris, Colleen Garbe Le Prell | Digital sound leveling device and method to reduce the risk of noise induced hearing loss |
