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.

Renowned UF alumnus Sachio Semmoto, Ph.D., pioneering serial entrepreneur and futurist, was the guest of honor in a recent ceremony in Malachowsky Hall for the official creation of the Sachio Semmoto Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering.

UF engineering researchers have pioneered a method for using semiconductor technology to manufacture processors that significantly enhance the efficiency of transmitting vast amounts of data across the globe.

When people hear the words “national security,” their minds might quickly go to three-initialed agencies, clandestine operations, and men in dark suits wearing earpieces. But Damon Woodard, Ph.D., director of the Florida Institute for National Security (FINS) at the University of Florida, envisions something different: jobs and research.

The University of Florida’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering announced today the establishment of the Florida Semiconductor Institute, a campus- and state-wide coordinating hub to provide intellectual and technological leadership for semiconductors in the 21st Century.  

Damon Woodard is a UF professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of UF’s Applied Artificial Intelligence Group.

The Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World has named a new Nelms Rising Star Professor, Roozbeh Tabrizian, PhD. The Nelms Rising Star Professorship is awarded to junior faculty (assistant and associate professors) who have shown extraordinary promise early in their career in research, education, workforce development, broadening participation, or other outreach activities, relevant to the mission of the institute.
