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.

Ivan Ruchkin, Ph.D., is not satisfied with how state-of-the-art cyber-physical systems deal with anomalies. A project recently funded by the National Science Foundation aims to fill in the gaps in current methodologies.

The CHIP Lab, led by Dr. Hamed Dalir, has received $435,000 in funding from SRC to enhance photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and ferroelectric-tunable transparent conductive materials for high-performance computing applications.

ECE Assistant Professor Yingying Wu has received a $546k NSF CAREER Award in support of her project, “Transforming Quantum Spintronics with Novel 2D Magnetic Transistors and Diodes.” This project will focus on creating new quantum hardware devices like magnetic transistors and diodes that use skyrmions.

Walden C. Rhines Endowed Assistant Professor for Hardware Security Farimah Farahmandi has received an NSF CAREER award in support of her project “SAIF: Security Assurance through AI and Formal Approaches for System-on-Chips.”

Dr. Damon Woodard and Dr. Domenic Forte are spearheading a groundbreaking $992k initiative—funded by the Office of the President of the University of Florida—with the overarching goal of propelling the University of Florida to the forefront of national security research, policy formulation, and workforce development.

ECE Associate Professor and Kent & Linda Fuchs Faculty Fellow Joel Harley is partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) to find innovative ways of determining the structural integrity of fuel rods used in nuclear power generation plants.

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, […]
