Longer-lasting phones, lighter drones, electric cars that drive farther. These are just some of the possibilities thanks to a new battery separator design from University of Florida researchers and their partners.

A research team led by the University of Florida is using artificial intelligence and high-performance computing to explore swarms of airborne particles to solve combustible mysteries, a study that may lead to more efficient engines and better combustion in power plants.

At the University of Florida, space physicist Alicia Petersen, Ph.D., is working on solutions that could help shield the nation from the next big solar storm.

UF’s Patrick Musgrave, Ph.D., has received the prestigious Air Force Young Investigator Award and $450K in research funding to develop adaptive aircraft structures that sense, decide, and respond on their own. His work could lead to lighter, faster, and more responsive aircraft by using structural vibrations instead of traditional sensors and computers.

Jing Pan Ph. D., a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida, is pioneering an innovative approach to enzyme engineering. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) with molecular simulations, his team is developing nanoscale enzyme machines with unprecedented precision and functionality. 

UF mechanical engineering graduate Diego Acevedo’s grand life – from kite surfing in his Aruba neighborhood to three engineering degrees from three countries – stems from curiosity and a bit of restlessness.

MAE professor John Conklin’s research is being harnessed by UF’s Astraeus Space Institute to give scientists unprecedented insights into universe-shaping events.

On this Fourth of July, UF MAE professor Jacob Chung, Ph.D., stands as the epitome of the American Dream.

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.

NASA has selected a team of University of Florida aerospace engineers to pursue a groundbreaking $12 million mission aimed at improving the way we track changes in Earth’s structures, such as tectonic plates and oceans.
