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.

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Fang, who has been elected for a two-year term as a member of the Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the IEEE.

ECE Florida is proud to announce the recent elevation of three faculty members to the the distinction of IEEE Fellow: Dr. Tao Li, Dr. Mark Tehranipoor, and Dr. Huikai Xie.
