Eakta Jain, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering, was recently named an Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH) Executive Committee Director. “This role gives me an opportunity to give back to the professional community I ‘grew up in,’ […]

Juan E. Gilbert, Ph.D., the Banks Family Preeminence Endowed Professor and department chair, has been named a 2023 Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Dr. Gilbert was elevated for “leadership in broadening participation in computing and contributions to accessible voting technologies.” IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members […]

A group of students representing the UF Student InfoSec Team (UF-SIT) Kernel Sanders team recently won a Capture the Flag (CTF) tournament sponsored by Raymond James in St. Petersburg, Fla. By finishing first, the team won a $10,000 prize.   “Although different teams have been participating in this competition for a while, UF has often placed […]

The convergence of two engineering disciplines at the University of Florida is building a valuable tool that will allow researchers to diagnose human cancers, potentially leading to earlier clinical interventions. Kiley Graim, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering, is leading a $1.5 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) […]

Self-driving cars, like the human drivers that preceded them, need to see what’s around them to avoid obstacles and drive safely. The most sophisticated autonomous vehicles typically use lidar, a spinning radar-type device that acts as the eyes of the car. Lidar provides constant information about the distance to objects so the car can decide […]

After many years devoted to teaching and research at the University of Florida, Baba Vemuri, Ph.D., was recently named a Distinguished Professor. Dr. Vemuri, who is also the Wilson and Marie Collins Endowed Professor in Engineering, is the third person in the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) to receive the distinction. […]

As students across the nation return to the classroom this fall, Florida is among the first states to adopt a K-12 artificial intelligence, or AI, education program designed to prepare its youth for the growing global demand for an AI-enabled workforce. Tapping into the expertise of the University of Florida and its AI initiative, the […]

The explosive growth of diversified scientific data has reaped unprecedented advancements in scientific discovery and engineering. Unfortunately, it is difficult to relate data from one scientific problem to another without a unified approach to the mathematics of scientific modeling. A multidisciplinary team of researchers led by engineering faculty at the University of Florida hopes to […]
