Ivan Ruchkin, Ph.D., builds worlds. His recent work, mostly along two major themes, concerns the way autonomous agents perceive the world and, indeed, the way in which the agents’ worlds are constructed.

Using UF’s supercomputer HiPerGator, ECE Assistant Professor Yuheng Bu and his team are working on an invisible watermark method for Large Language Models designed to reliably detect AI-generated content – even altered or paraphrased – while maintaining writing quality.

ECE Assistant Professor Ivan Ruchkin has received funding from NSF for his project “Neuro-Symbolic Bridge: From Perception to Estimation & Control.” The project aims to enhance the robustness of cyber physical systems (CPS).

ECE Assistant Professor Ivan Ruchkin has been awarded $250k in funding from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in support of his project “Provable Resilience for Visual Terminal AI Guidance.”

Dr. Hamed Dalir’s CHIP Lab at the University of Florida published a new paper in Nature Communications Physics showcasing their groundbreaking research on integrating machine learning within optical networks.

Dr. Sanjeev J. Koppal has received $1M in funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in support of his project “Rapid High-Resolution Target Aerial Detection and Tracking through Deep Foveated Imaging.”

ECE Assistant Professor Jie Fu is part of a research project sponsored by the Army Research Laboratory under Cooperative Agreement W911NF-22-2-0233 between Raytheon BBN and ARL with support from the University of Florida. The broader project will develop novel research results focusing on robots’ formation tracking and waypoint design at both individual and team levels.

Q&A with Dr. David Arnold and Dr. Alina Zare, working together on the recently created NSF ERC IoT4Ag Center

Dr. Chris Wilson of UF Agronomy and ECE Florida’s Dr. Alina Zare are using hyper-spectral imagery of experimental cow pastures to better understand the ecosystem effects of adding perennial peanut to beef pastures.

In the culmination of a three-year competition cycle, Team GatorWings beat ten other teams in the DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2) to win first place, taking home a $2M prize.
