The NSF has selected a team of scientists from the University of Florida and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to lead a $20 million institute to advance artificial intelligence to promote STEM education.

Thomas Angelini, Ph.D., associate professor in MAE, and Senthilkumar Duraivel, a graduate from MSE working out of Angelini’s Soft Matter Lab, have collaborated on an approach to 3D print soft silicone structures like miniscule vascular bodies by turning the conventional process on its head.

Aerospace Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida made significant moves in the latest U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) rankings among public graduate engineering programs, joining four others that climbed in the list of top schools for graduate engineering study.

On April 5, the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering and the College of Design, Construction and Planning (DCP) received a $300,000 gift from Autodesk Inc.

Engineering Research Scientist Read Hayes recently traveled to Tallahassee, FL, to represent UF on Gator Day to showcase how his SaferPlaces Lab works to keep retail communities safe from shoplifters.

Thomas O. Hunter, Ph.D. (BS ME ’66) recently made an investment in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering’s Department of Engineering Education by establishing the Thomas O. Hunter Professorship, with Jeremy A. M. Waisome, Ph.D. and Amie Baisley, Ph.D. as recipients.

With the goal of creating a resilient supply chain for a sustained presence in space, researchers at the University of Florida (UF) are bioengineering microbes for experimentation on the International Space Station (ISS) they hope will reliably produce biopolymers, nutraceuticals, and antibiotics in variable gravity conditions.

Ana Maria Porras, Ph.D., a professor and researcher, heads the Tissue-Microbe Interactions lab in the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering within the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering.

Congratulations to former Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering dean Cammy Abernathy, who is the recipient of the UF Alumni Association’s Golden Gators Philanthropic Leadership Award.

Researchers at the University of Florida (UF) and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research have shown that ecosystem engineering by mussels in Southeastern US salt marshes is a stronger driver of coastal ecosystems’ ability to keep pace with sea-level rise than expected.
