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…

The award, provided through the National Science Foundation’s Addressing Systems Challenges through Engineering Teams program, aims to address problems surrounding engineering systems and networks.   Wireless devices consume more than just the hours users spend scrolling through social media, streaming podcasts and TV shows, and playing games. The networks used to connect these devices also…

ECE Assistant Professor Yuxiao Yang recently published a paper at Nature Biomedical Engineering, titled “Modelling and prediction of the dynamic responses of large-scale brain networks during direct electrical stimulation”.

With generous support of Dr. Raj Mittra, the Mittra Antenna, RF and Microwave Integrated Systems Laboratory is dedicated today. Dr. Mittra, a Courtesy Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is a world-renowned scholar in EM.

Smart Infrastructure Data Analytics Laboratory is opened as the newest research lab in the ECE Department. It focuses upon real-time data analytics, learning and control for such infrastructure systems as smart building management, renewable energy and digital grids, and smart communities. The lab further enhances the existing collaborations among UCF faculty and students, Siemens, UCF Facility, Duke Energy, OUC, and City of Orlando, as well as the larger FEEDER Center. A Siemens-UCF Ideation Workshop was held to kick off R&D activities in the lab.
