For the student demo session of the Warren B. Nelms Annual IoT Conference 2025, computer engineering student David Bickram set out to design a smart wearable to address gaps in existing assistive hearing technology. The idea was to build a device that could detect and classify environmental sounds and respond instantly, privately, and reliably. This […]

Through a prestigious three-year NASA grant, a collaborative team of researchers across six different universities will work to understand the vital role of trust in autonomous systems. Dr. Sandip Ray serves as the lead for the University of Florida team, working in partnership with Dr. Swarup Bhunia. The overall project is led by Dr. Siddhartha […]

In April, students in the Applied Deep Learning and Applied Machine Learning courses presented their final projects during a poster session in Malachowsky Hall. Dr. Andrea Ramirez-Salgado, instructional assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Education, instructed both courses this spring. The students were either from the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence Systems (MSAIS) […]

Warren B. Nelms Institute faculty member and assistant professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning Yan Wang, Ph.D., has received an NSF CAREER Award. This honor is one of the NSF’s most competitive awards, recognizing early-career faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars and have the potential to lead advances in research and […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare, and at the heart of this transformation are foundation models (FMs), large-scale deep learning systems trained on massive datasets and a more general form of chatGPT beyond text. In their recent paper, A Comprehensive Survey of Foundation Models in Medicine accepted by IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering (RBME), researchers Ruogu Fang, […]

In this review paper, researchers explore the transformative potential of foundation models in medicine, from enhancing clinical decision-making to driving biomedical research. The paper highlights both the opportunities and challenges of these models, including interpretability, fairness, and adaptation to domain-specific needs. The paper titled, “A Comprehensive Survey of Foundation Models in Medicine” will be published […]

Dr. Bianca Burini is an Assistant Professor in the Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory at University of Florida and a new member of the Warren B. Nelms Institute for the Connected World. Dr. Burini’s research centers around combatting vector-borne diseases, which are transferred through blood-feeding anthropods like mosquitos. The research encompasses a diverse array of pathogens, […]

Dr. Zhe Jiang, Associate Professor in the Department of Computer & Information Science and Engineering, has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to fund the project, “Collaborative Research: OAC Core: Learning AI Surrogate of Large-Scale Spatiotemporal Simulations for Coastal Circulation.” This project aims to train a novel AI surrogate cyberinfrastructure to generate large-scale simulations […]

Computer Engineering undergraduate student Carson Sobolewski is the recipient of the 2024 ECE Undergraduate Student Research Excellence award. The award is given yearly to the top ECE undergraduate student who has excelled in their research during the academic year. Students are nominated by their faculty advisor. Sobolewski has worked on several research projects under the […]

Three undergraduate students in the Warren B. Nelms Institute have received a 2024 University Scholars Program (USP) award to work on IoT-related research under the mentorship of Dr. Aaron Costin. The USP serves as a way to introduce undergraduate students to the world of academic research. University Scholars commit 8-10 hours per week on a […]
