- Back-to-back: UF Materials Bowl team snags another championship
The University of Florida’s Materials Science and Engineering students claimed back-to-back victories at the 2026 TMS Materials Bowl, showcasing their expertise in materials science and the strength of their teamwork in a high-speed, trivia-style competition.
- Three UF nuclear engineering Ph.D. students earn international fellowship
Enrique Medici and Hannah Patz were selected for the highly competitive Training in Radiological and International Nuclear Security (TRAINS) Fellowship, a program connecting top graduate students with leading institutions and national laboratories in the United States and Europe to advance nuclear security and nonproliferation efforts.
- From Gainesville to the global stage: Meet UF Rising Star Allison Probert
In a field often defined by precision and data, Allison Probert found her most meaningful discovery outside the lab.
- UF Students Excel in Materials Competition, Earn National Awards and Scholarships
The University of Florida’s Ceramic Mug Drop (CMD) design team made history in September by setting a new university UF record for the highest drop at the Materials Science & Technology Technical Meeting and Exhibition in Columbus, Ohio.
- Licensed to lead, UF students join elite ranks as nuclear reactor operators
Built in 1959 and operating out of the Nuclear Engineering program in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, the UF training reactor is one of fewer than 30 reactors still operating in the United States. The college uses the reactor to train students in nuclear science and reactor operations, and in lab courses.
