ECE Professor Laura Kim is leading a cross-college project to detect endometriosis earlier and more accurately.

A team led by University of Florida researchers is developing an injectable implant to stimulate nerves without batteries or wires. The research stands to improve treatment for chronic pain and neurological disorders.

From smartphones to quantum computers, modern technology depends on moving information quickly and efficiently. Now, scientists have found a way to control vibrations at gigahertz (GHz) speeds to serve as ultra-fast bridges between mechanical, microwave and optical signals. 

To get a good window into what the University of Florida is doing in the quantum space, spend some time with Laura Kim, Ph.D., and Yingying Wu, Ph.D. Both are award-winning assistant professors in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, and both are gaining attention for their work in quantum research and education.

AI has entered a phase where the limits are no longer set by algorithms or transistor counts but by energy and speed.  

Healthcare systems see significant promise in AI for improving care delivery and controlling costs, yet face significant barriers to safe and effective implementation, including concerns about AI accuracy, patient safety, and integration with health system workflows. Joel Harley, Ph.D., is working to overcome some of these barriers.  Harley is set to co-direct the Accessible Healthcare through […]

Described in a new study published in Photonics Research and selected for inclusion in Spotlight on Optics, researchers at the University of Florida and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have built a chip-sized device that uses forces exerted by photons to “strum” a single-crystal 4H silicon carbide (SiC) microdisk, inducing it to vibrate at frequencies that can be detected with the right techniques and equipment.  

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.

Ivan Ruchkin, PhD, and José Príncipe, PhD, are collaborating on an NSF-funded project aiming to create an end-to-end methodology to model, analyze, quantify, detect, and adapt to changes in the visual environment of an autonomous cyber-physical system.

Monolithic Power Systems, manufacturer of small, highly energy efficient, easy-to-use industrial power management solutions, formally dedicated a named lab space in Benton Hall on Thursday, Oct. 2. The newly renovated lab space is designed to strengthen the department’s research and teaching capabilities in the area of power electronics, while enhancing opportunities for collaboration.
