With a string of rocket launches nearly 60 miles to the north, hundreds of industry leaders, scientists and educators gathered on Florida’s Space Coast last week to assess the state’s foothold in semiconductor production.

Announced in January, the Central Florida Semiconductor Innovation Engine is one of 10 inaugural NSF Regional Innovation Engines and is led by BRIDG, a Florida-based, not-for-profit, public-private partnership focused on developing and commercializing advanced technologies. It is the only engine with a semiconductor focus and will initially receive up to $15 million for the next two years.

David P. Arnold, a professor in ECE, was one of two UF researchers to be named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. Arnold focuses on research in electrophysics.
