Dynamic Doppelganger: Developing Florida’s Digital Twin
Imagine a virtual Jacksonville, viewable through an augmented reality headset, that shows the intricate aspects of the city in 3D. This is the future of sustainable urban planning, and the University of Florida is leading a project that will leverage artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies to make it happen.
UF engineering professor elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences
The American Academy of Arts and Sciences has elected University of Florida computer science professor and National Medal of Technology and Innovation (NMTI) laureate Juan E. Gilbert, Ph.D. as a 2024 Academy member.
New 3D-printing method makes printing objects more affordable and eco-friendly
University of Florida engineers have developed a novel method for 3D printing that allows manufacturers to create custom-made objects economically and sustainably.
Making advances in space engineering
UF has launched the Space Mission Institute, an interdisciplinary hub for space research. The institute helps bring together researchers like Tori Miller, Ph.D., and Christopher Petersen, Ph.D., both in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, who are partnering to imagine the future of space exploration, where self-guided satellites repair and upgrade one another and where we can build structures in space far too big to launch from Earth.
Fighting the growing threat of crime and violence in retail spaces
Retail industry leaders from 47 corporations across the nation recently convened at the University of Florida to delve into strategies to combat the growing challenges from theft, fraud, and violence in retail spaces. The event focused on the threat of an active shooter incident.
UF researchers evaluate academic performance of chatbots
