Scientists are using vibrating nanoscale drumheads to study how magnetism moves and changes inside special materials — a discovery that could help power the next generation of fast, energy-efficient computers. 

Catia Silva, Ph.D., won the 2025 Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering Undergraduate Teacher of the Year Award, as well as the 2025 UF Rising Star Award

Imagine a digital watermark that could remove the guesswork and actually flag AI-generated text whenever someone submits their writing. A University of Florida engineering professor is developing this technology right now.

If Grammy Awards were given to faculty, Farimah Farahmandi, Ph.D., would top the nominations list. Fact is, she is often called “rockstar” in the halls and labs of the University of Florida’s Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department. Since joining the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering in 2019, Farahmandi has consistently set a high bar […]

Born in St. Louis and raised in East St. Louis, IL, Kelsey Horace-Herron started her UF journey in the summer of 2018 when a mentor recommended her for UF’s Junior Preview. From there she had the opportunity to participate in UF’s SURF (Summer Undergraduate Research at Florida) program the following summer. Soon thereafter, Horrace-Herron won the Graduate School Preeminence Award and knew “UF was the perfect place for me.”

The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering at the University of Florida is pleased to announce a $3 million collaboration with Citi, a global powerhouse in financial services. 

Engineering researchers at the University of Florida are playing a key role in advancing safety and precision in robot-assisted surgery, or RAS.

Led by the Warren B. Nelms Institute, a three-year, $1M University of Florida project is teaching veterans how to hack into computer systems in order to prepare them for cybersecurity work.

The Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering proudly announces that eight of our faculty members have been honored with the 2024 National Science Foundation (NSF) Early CAREER Awards.

A team led by three ECE Florida faculty members is set to receive $6.6M from DARPA to design and fabricate dynamic pressure sensors capable of performing at temperatures upwards of 800 °C (1472 °F), over a factor of 6X higher than any integrated pressure sensor currently in use.
