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).”

A publication co-authored by Dr. Roozbeh Tabrizian, Dr. Philip Feng, Troy Tharpe, and Dr. Xu-Qian Zheng currently graces the cover of Advanced Engineering Materials.

Assistant Professor Roozbeh Tabrizian has been selected to receive a  2021 DARPA Director’s Fellowship, following his receipt of the 2019 DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA).

YK Yoon and Mosaic Microsystems are collaborating on a project sponsored by the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to collaboratively develop ultra-low loss solutions for next-generation radar arrays.

Using a novel system of custom-fabricated soil sensors, drones, and a wireless network, William Eisenstadt is part of a team of researchers aiming to reduce the amount of excess nitrogen fertilizer that makes its way into the water supply.

The Interdisciplinary Microsystems Group (IMG) focuses on micro- and nano-systems for healthcare, energy, security, aerospace, transportation, consumer electronics, and other industries.
