Congratulations are due to Michael Fang and his many co-authors for the recent selection of  their paper as TCGCC Best Journal Paper Award by the IEEE Technical Committee on Green Communications & Computing (TCGCC). “An Energy-Efficient Strategy for Secondary Users in Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks for Green Communications” was co-authored by: Mike Fang, his currently advisees […]

Sandip Ray joined the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the beginning of 2018, as an endowed IoT (Internet of Things) Term Professor. He is also part of the core faculty of the Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World, commonly referred to as the IOT Institute.

Dr. Martin Uman recently delivered the invited conference keynote speech at the 2018 ILDC/ILMC and was also awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for outstanding leadership and significant contributions to the lightning community.

The nation’s top cybersecurity experts convened at the University of Florida to discuss the latest developments in network, software and hardware security. The core message? Collaboration is key.

The push to share new ideas, emerging solutions – and even, potential threats – with the cybersecurity community echoed throughout the two-day conference, hosted by the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity Research (FICS Research) at UF.

Congratulations are in order for Huikai Xie, ECE Florida, just promoted to Fellow of the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). Dr. Xie is recognized for his achievements in optical MEMS and optical endoscopic imaging.

Dr. Roozbeh Tabrizian has received an NSF CAREER Award for his project, “Active Nano-Acoustic Waveguide Matrix to Tackle Signal Processing Limits: Enabling Wideband and Nonreciprocal Integrated Communication Beyond the UHF.”

NPR’s RadioLab featured Dr. Martin Uman on a Dec. 20 episode, “Big Little Questions.” In the quirky and personal segment, Dr. Uman identifies a strange phenomenon as ball lightning and goes on to describe it as a “well documented mystery.”

Congratulations to Dr. Alina Zare, selected as a 2018 SPIE Rising Researcher for Defense, Commercial Sensing.

In a dramatic, professionally-filmed commercial for the plug-in hybrid BMW 530e, ECE lightning researcher Dr. Martin Uman and his students are shown doing what they do best—using ‘triggered lightning’ to study this awesome natural phenomenon.

Three ECE faculty were among the authors recently awarded the Best Paper Award at ISTFA 2017.
