Congratulations to IMG Professor, Dr. Xin Tang, and IMG Students, Chenyu Liang, Andrea Noy, and Erica Hengartner, on their recent recognition in the MAE Department and the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering!
Dr. Tang received the 2024 MAE Researcher of the Year Award.
Congratulations to IMG Professor, Dr. David Arnold, for receiving the 2024 Faculty Excellence in Leadership Award, and to IMG Ph.D. student, Adam Kriz, for receiving the 2024 Attributes of a Gator Engineer Award in Community & Inclusion! We’re proud to have you representing IMG!
Congratulations to IMG Ph.D. student, Tahmid Kaisar, and IMG Professor, Dr. Philip Feng, for their research article, “Parametric Frequency Divider Based Ising Machines”, recently published in Physical Review Letters. In this work, they report on a new class of Ising machines (IMs) that rely on coupled parametric frequency dividers (PFDs) as macroscopic artificial spins.
IMG is excited to have strong representation at this year’s Solid-State Sensors, Actuators, and Microsystems Workshop in Hilton Head, South Carolina! Below are IMG’s oral and poster presentations, many of which were nominated for the Best Paper & Best Poster Awards! Keep an eye out for our talented students and their exciting research conducted through IMG!

A diverse team led by three ECE Florida faculty members is set to receive funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to design and fabricate dynamic pressure sensors capable of performing at temperatures upwards of 800 °C (1472 °F), over a factor of 6X higher than any integrated pressure sensor currently in use. The $6.6M project, funded as part of the DARPA

Another four years have gone by, and the Summer Olympics are back to recognize the world’s best athletes while simultaneously wreaking havoc on its host city’s infrastructure. Since most of us probably can’t afford a trip to Croissant City to watch the games in person, we decided to bring the Olympics here! This year, we will have the IMG Spring Olympics, a fun-filled afternoon for IMG members to unwind and engage in some friendly competition. The event will be held on Friday, 4/26 @ 3:30 pm at the SW Rec Softball Fields.
