The Electronics Division of the American Ceramic Society has named UF MSE undergraduate student Clayton Cozzan the recipient of the 2013 Lewis C. Hoffman Scholarship Award. Cozzan was selected “in recognition of his excellence in the classroom, accompanied by many significant contributions to research, and for his excellent essay titled Creativity Prevails at the Nanoscale: […]

Every year, the American Nuclear Society (ANS) holds a design competition to select the best Student design projects.  A panel of industry judges reviews the submitted projects and selects two undergraduate and two graduate teams to make oral presentations in front of a second panel of Judges at the society’s Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. […]

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.
