A team of ten UF researchers, led by Dr. Yong-Kyu Yoon, is supporting 1 of only 10 NSF Engines: “Central Florida Semiconductor Innovation Engine.”

A UF team led by Yong-Kyu Yoon is part of a project that has been chosen as one of 34 semifinalists in the NSF Engines program.

As profiled by UF News, the innovative Gainesville-based company Fire Neural Network, or FNN, is using artificial intelligence to reduce the time it takes to identify a devastating wildfire from 24 hours to just 40 seconds. ECE Florida has deep connections to this work—underpinning FNN’s ingenious technology is a deep understanding of lightning, its behavior, […]

ECE Professor Yong-Kyu ‘YK’ Yoon has received a $750k award from the NSF Convergence Accelerator Program in support of his project “Energy-efficient MetaConductors for Convergence of Sustainable Electronics (E-MC2 of Sustainable Electronics).”

​In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’ve taken the time to compile some of ECE Florida’s women inventors (patent holders). Know of any more? Email communications@ece.ufl.edu and we’ll add them here.

ECE Professor Yong-Kyu Yoon and UF Transportation Institute (UFTI) Director Lily Elefteriadou were recently interviewed by WUFT News about a years-long study of bus bike rack usage on local RTS buses. Dr. Yoon and his students deployed sensors on the racks which enabled them to track activity over time.

YK Yoon and Mosaic Microsystems are collaborating on a project sponsored by the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to collaboratively develop ultra-low loss solutions for next-generation radar arrays.

Y.K. Yoon’s Multidisciplinary Nano & Microsystems (MnM) Lab was one of only four groups to invited to participate in the first annual President’s Council Celebration and Tailgate this past Saturday, Sept. 7.

ECE Florida and Professor Y.K. Yoon recently hosted a group of eight graduate students from the Graduate Program for Mechanical Systems Innovation (GMSI) at the University of Tokyo in Japan. The visiting students collaborated with UF students from IMG and the MIST Center.

Y.K. Yoon, Associate Professor at ECE Florida, has developed an IoT device which is capable of harvesting data directly from the human mouth, enabling real-time health data, delivered via bluetooth to a smart phone. His work was recently featured on WCJB.

Congratulations are due to Seahee Hwangbo, an ECE Ph.D. student under the supervision of Dr. Yong-Kyu Yoon, who has been awarded two prestigious awards.
