  The UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science is making an impact in areas such as hypersonic technology, nanomedicine and biomedical engineering, and robotics and autonomous systems – and has hired a new group of faculty who will enhance its reputation in these fields. Seventeen new faculty members will join four of the six…

The AI technologies developed will allow autonomous systems, such as drones and self-driving cars, to navigate unexpected variables. Autonomous systems, such as self-driving cars and unmanned aircraft, learn from modeling and simulation. However, the training process can take months to years, and it doesn’t account for the uncertainty found in the real world. In the world…

UCF faculty members across the university, including several from the College of Engineering and Computer Science, achieved significant career milestones in earning promotions and tenure for the 2023-24 cycle.The 104 approved faculty — 63 for promotion, 40 for promotion and tenure and one for tenure — underwent a rigorous performance evaluation by peers, college and…

A year into his career at UCF, Assistant Professor Di Wu shares what drew him to Knight Nation, what he’s working on and how ducklings play a role in his daily routine.   Di Wu, an assistant professor in the UCF Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, was one of 12 new faculty who came…

Professor Murat Yuksel is pioneering the use of machine learning to enhance high frequency wireless networks and efficiently navigate environmental obstacles to provide better coverage and quality.   Communicating unimpeded at distances near and far is a dream Murat Yuksel is hoping to realize. His ongoing research, titled “INWADE: INtelligent Waveform Adaptation with DEep Learning,”…

  The websites you frequently visit and the software programs you use could leave behind clues that make your computer vulnerable to a cyberthreat known as a microarchitectural attack. But one UCF researcher is investigating the cause of these attacks, and discovering ways to prevent them, through a $550,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.…

  Every year on the first Wednesday of April, UCF honors the outstanding accomplishments and contributions of our people on Founders’ Day, our annual celebration of the employees, faculty and students who keep reaching for the stars. More than 150 faculty members were recognized across the university, including several from the College of Engineering and…

  Six papers by UCF Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering researchers were presented at the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD), held from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2, 2023, in San Francisco. This year, UCF had the most first-authored papers among all U.S. institutions, ahead of Georgia Tech, which had five first-authored papers.…

The funding is designed to foster long-term partnerships between NASA and MSIs and to give eligible research projects the chance to pursue larger grants in the future.   Three research projects from the University of Central Florida have been selected for NASA Minority University Research and Education Project Partnership Annual Notification (MPLAN) awards. The grants,…
