Mark Law, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in the College of Engineering and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Kevin Jones, Ph.D., received the highest honor from the global industry association Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI). The two UF professors were recognized for developing a flexible code in 1990 that modeled semiconductor […]

The paper from Henry Sodano, Ph.D., demonstrated the growth of vertically aligned arrays of barium titanate nanowires for the first time and showed that the ferroelectric nanowires can act as highly accurate dynamics stress sensors or, specifically, accelerometers. The results also show that the barium titanate nanowires can improve more than an order of magnitude […]

Andreas Enqvist, Ph.D., received a Master of Science in physics at Gothenburg University, Sweden and his doctorate in Nuclear Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) in 2010. Dr. Enqvist worked as a postdoc and assistant research scientist from 2010 to 2013 at the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of […]

James Baciak, Ph.D., Jiangeng Xue, Ph.D., and Juan Nino, Ph.D., received a Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) award for $1.6 Million to develop organic photodiodes as low-cost, radiation-resistant alternatives to traditional photomultiplier tubes for next-generation gamma-ray spectrometers.

Researchers in the Nuclear Engineering Program at the UF Department of Materials Science & Engineering have received Department of Energy University Program grants for conducting research to mitigate the Fuel Cladding Chemical Interactions (FCCI) in a sodium-cooled fast reactor and to develop BiI3 Gamma-Ray spectrometers for nuclear material safeguarding. UF is also a collaborator in […]

Michele Manuel, Ph.D., has won the TMS Early Career Award for 2014. This award recognizes an assistant professor for his or her accomplishments that have advanced the academic institution where employed and for abilities to broaden the technological profile of TMS.

The AVS States the purpose of this recognition is “… to recognize individuals who not only excel in science and/or engineering, but who also, through mentoring, have enhanced the careers of future generations who might not otherwise have considered or had access to opportunities in science, engineering, and technology. Their leadership in the effort to […]

Franky So, Ph.D., has been selected as an IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lecturer for his contributions to organic electronics. Only six scientists around the world received this honor.

Michele Manuel, Ph.D., was awarded the 2013 Bradley Stoughton Award for Young Teachers This award, given by ASM, was established in 1952 to recognize early career educators in the fields of materials science, materials engineering, design and processing for their ability to impart knowledge and enthusiasm to students.

Since 2010, the Cade Museum Foundation has held an annual competition encouraging Florida’s burgeoning inventors and entrepreneurs. This year, two products originating in Gator Engineering research laboratories made their way to the Final Four. Ultimately, the $50,000 cash award went to NanoPhotanica, a manufacturer of electronic display screens developed by Paul Holloway, Ph.D., distinguished professor […]
