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.

Dr. Hamed Dalir has received funding to advance research on a “Novel Long-Range Acoustic Method for Decadal Monitoring of Plugged and Abandoned (P&A) Wells.” This groundbreaking project aims to revolutionize the monitoring of P&A wells using advanced acoustic techniques.

A diverse team led by three ECE Florida faculty members is set to receive funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to design and fabricate dynamic pressure sensors capable of performing at temperatures upwards of 800 °C (1472 °F), over a factor of 6X higher than any integrated pressure sensor currently in use.

ECE Professor Yong-Kyu ‘YK’ Yoon has received a $750k award from the NSF Convergence Accelerator Program in support of his project “Energy-efficient MetaConductors for Convergence of Sustainable Electronics (E-MC2 of Sustainable Electronics).”
