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.

ECE Assistant Professor Yingying Wu has received a $546k NSF CAREER Award in support of her project, “Transforming Quantum Spintronics with Novel 2D Magnetic Transistors and Diodes.” This project will focus on creating new quantum hardware devices like magnetic transistors and diodes that use skyrmions.

In a transformational year for the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Florida, more than $160M in funding for semiconductor research was secured in 2024.

The University of Florida will lead one of seven regional hubs of a new, $285 million nationwide institute dedicated to advancing America’s semiconductor industry through next-generation simulations known as digital twins.

The National Institutes of Health has granted ECE Assistant Professor Adam Khalifa a $1.5M New Innovator Award, securing research funding that could revolutionize invasive surgical implants and improve understanding for disease detection.

Distinguished Professor Mark Law has received funding from the Army Research Office for his project “ColdPhase: Improved Junctions and Circuits.” The $425k project works to develop a combined tool with process and device modeling capability for Josephson Junction stacks based on NbTiN deposited using either PEALD or reactive sputtering.

ECE Researcher Dr. Shuo Wang has received $3M in funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) in support of his efforts to develop a power semiconductor module to support the realization of transformative power conversion systems for the grid of tomorrow.

ECE Distinguished Professor Mark Law is collaborating with the Army Research Office and Johns Hopkins University on a newly-funded project, “Superior Superconducting Josephson Junctions with 400°C Processing Temperature.”

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.”
