ECE Assistant Professor Shreya Saxena has received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in support of her project, “Elucidating Principles of Sensorimotor Control using Deep Learning.” The research objective of this $1M BRAIN Initiative proposal is to develop biologically-inspired goal- and data- driven artificial intelligence methods to elucidate the neurodynamical basis of sensorimotor control.

Faculty members from the ECE Department are collaborating with researchers from the Engineering Education Department (EED) and the College of Education (CoE) on a new NSF project, Innovating Quantum-Inspired Learning for Undergraduates in Research and Engineering.

ECE Assistant Professor Farimah Farahmandi has received funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in support of her three-year project, “SVH: Security Verification of Heterogenous Integration.”

ECE Assistant Professor Jie Fu has received funding from the Army Research Office (ARO) in support of her project, “Verification and Synthesis of Assured Dynamic Cyber Defense with Deception and Counter Deception.”

Utilizing the AI supercomputing infrastructure at the University of Florida as well as the expertise which led to his receipt of an NSF CAREER Award, Dr. Asadi has emerged as a worldwide leader in the area of physical assurance for integrated circuits (ICs).

Researchers in UF’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, along with collaborators from UF/IFAS, are developing AI systems for the purpose of more accurately measuring ecosystem services and how they are impacted by various land management practices.

ECE Assistant Professor Navid Asadi has received an NSF CAREER Award in support of his project, “Backside Protection Against Contactless Optical Attacks on Integrated Circuits in Advanced Technology Nodes.”

ECE Assistant Professor Jie Fu has received a $550K NSF CAREER Award in support of her project Formal “Synthesis of Provably Correct Cyber-Physical Defense with Asymmetric Information.”

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.

The cover of Applied Physics Letters‘ first issue of 2022 features the work of ECE Professor Philip Feng and his research group.
