Two University of Florida teams earned top honors and a combined $35,000 in awards at the Mission Autonomy Hackathon, a national competition hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Vanderbilt University in Nashville.  

Dear ECE students, staff, faculty and friends, I am thrilled to share ECE’s highlights from the fall semester.

Healthcare systems see significant promise in AI for improving care delivery and controlling costs, yet face significant barriers to safe and effective implementation, including concerns about AI accuracy, patient safety, and integration with health system workflows. Joel Harley, Ph.D., is working to overcome some of these barriers.  Harley is set to co-direct the Accessible Healthcare through […]

University of Florida engineering alumnus and Texas Instruments Fellow Alan Hastings has added another donation for a new Faculty Fellow within the College of Engineering’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).

A student team from the Florida Institute of National Security (FINS) took top honors late last month at Gator Hack, the University of Florida’s 2025 AI Days hackathon. 

Described in a new study published in Photonics Research and selected for inclusion in Spotlight on Optics, researchers at the University of Florida and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have built a chip-sized device that uses forces exerted by photons to “strum” a single-crystal 4H silicon carbide (SiC) microdisk, inducing it to vibrate at frequencies that can be detected with the right techniques and equipment.  

A team of physicists and engineers has discovered a new way to eavesdrop on some of the most elusive and subtle magnetic phenomena in nature — using membranes so thin and sensitive they can hear what no traditional probes could see or sense.

Ivan Ruchkin, PhD, and José Príncipe, PhD, are collaborating on an NSF-funded project aiming to create an end-to-end methodology to model, analyze, quantify, detect, and adapt to changes in the visual environment of an autonomous cyber-physical system.

“Formal Methods for Safe and Interpretable Control”Thursday, Nov 6 at 1:00pmMALA 5050Add to Calendar Abstract In control theory, complicated dynamics such as systems of (nonlinear) differential equations are mostly controlled to achieve stability and to optimize a cost. In formal methods, simple systems such as finite state transition graphs modeling computer programs or digital circuits […]

Monolithic Power Systems, manufacturer of small, highly energy efficient, easy-to-use industrial power management solutions, formally dedicated a named lab space in Benton Hall on Thursday, Oct. 2. The newly renovated lab space is designed to strengthen the department’s research and teaching capabilities in the area of power electronics, while enhancing opportunities for collaboration.
