ECE Florida Professor Shuo Wang has received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for his project, “Advanced Electromagnetic Analysis and High-frequency Impedance Design for Magnetic Ferrite Inductors and Transformers.”

ECE Associate Professor and Kent & Linda Fuchs Faculty Fellow Joel Harley is partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) to find innovative ways of determining the structural integrity of fuel rods used in nuclear power generation plants.

The NSF-funded engineering IoT4Ag research center held its year three annual retreat June 14–16 in Gainesville.

A UF team led by Yong-Kyu Yoon is part of a project that has been chosen as one of 34 semifinalists in the NSF Engines program.

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.

As profiled by UF News, the innovative Gainesville-based company Fire Neural Network, or FNN, is using artificial intelligence to reduce the time it takes to identify a devastating wildfire from 24 hours to just 40 seconds. ECE Florida has deep connections to this work—underpinning FNN’s ingenious technology is a deep understanding of lightning, its behavior, […]

Supply chain disruptions. The Big Hack. Ransom attacks. These issues, familiar to all from the steady stream of stories in the media, have one thing in common. They all have to do with, in one way or another, semiconductor manufacturing. More to the point, these issues point to one critical issue—semiconductors (or computer chips) are […]

Dr. Farimah Farahmandi has received funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in support of her 3-year project, “FAME: Fault-Injection Assessment and Mitigation of Microelectronics at Pre-silicon.”

ECE Associate Professor Sanjeev Koppal was recently selected as an Amazon Scholar. He’ll work with Amazon to create better cameras and better algorithms for their robots.
