Dr. Sanjeev J. Koppal has received $1M in funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in support of his project “Rapid High-Resolution Target Aerial Detection and Tracking through Deep Foveated Imaging.”

ECE Assistant Professor Jie Fu is part of a research project sponsored by the Army Research Laboratory under Cooperative Agreement W911NF-22-2-0233 between Raytheon BBN and ARL with support from the University of Florida. The broader project will develop novel research results focusing on robots’ formation tracking and waypoint design at both individual and team levels.

As profiled by UF News, the innovative Gainesville-based company Fire Neural Network, or FNN, is using artificial intelligence to reduce the time it takes to identify a devastating wildfire from 24 hours to just 40 seconds. ECE Florida has deep connections to this work—underpinning FNN’s ingenious technology is a deep understanding of lightning, its behavior, […]

Supply chain disruptions. The Big Hack. Ransom attacks. These issues, familiar to all from the steady stream of stories in the media, have one thing in common. They all have to do with, in one way or another, semiconductor manufacturing. More to the point, these issues point to one critical issue—semiconductors (or computer chips) are […]

“Min_LQG games and collective discrete choice problems” Wednesday, April 19 at 3:00pm NEB 409 Join via Zoom Abstract We introduce a class of finite horizon linear quadratic Gaussian games involving distinct potential finite destination states, interpreted as discrete choices under social pressure. The model provides stylized interpretations of opinion swings in elections, the dynamics of […]
