Dr. Vladimir Rakov has been awarded a $1M grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for his project, “Lightning Studies Based on Measurements Spanning the Ranges from Radio Frequency to Optical (including Infrared and Ultraviolet) to Gamma-Rays.”

ECE Assistant Professor and member of FICS Research Dr. Farimah Farahmandi has been awarded a $500K grant from DARPA for her project, “Security-Aware High-Level Synthesis (SHINE).”

ECE Assistant Professor Najme Ebrahimi has received a 2021 DARPA Young Faculty Award in support of her project, “Miniaturized and Power-Efficient MMW Arrays with Precise Electrical and Thermal Optimization for Future Low-Cost Standardization.”

Navid Asadi is partnering with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) on a system which promises secure fabrication of electronic systems.

ECE Assistant Professor Joel Harley is embarking on a unique collaboration with MAE to better understand how a high entropy alloy (HEA) works on an atomic level.

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).

An article recently published in the Academic Times profiled exciting new technology patented by researchers at the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research which promises a new way to detect recycled and counterfeit electronic parts. The technology created by ECE Associate Professor Domenic Forte and ECE Associate Professor Nima Maghari makes supply chains more secure, protects consumer safety and runs at almost zero cost.

ECE Professor Yong-Kyu Yoon and UF Transportation Institute (UFTI) Director Lily Elefteriadou were recently interviewed by WUFT News about a years-long study of bus bike rack usage on local RTS buses. Dr. Yoon and his students deployed sensors on the racks which enabled them to track activity over time.

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.

In a new paper published in Nature Microsystems and Nanoengineering, a team led by Dr. Roozbeh Tabrizian and Dr. Swarup Bhunia has demonstrated a novel product-labeling approach based on resonant nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS).
