Technology moves fast. Stay ahead of what’s next with the Taste of Tech Seminar Series on August 24th, 11:45 a.m. at the Malachowsky Hall. This semester is proudly sponsored by MMEC, featuring two expert-led presentations.

Dr. Enxia Zhang, assistant professor at the @ucf.edu: “From Commercial Semiconductors to Space-Ready Electronics: Reliability of Advanced CMOS and GaN Power Devices”

Dr. David Arnold, director of the Florida Semiconductor Institute: “The Mission of the Florida Semiconductor Institute”

This session brings together industry professionals and applied science enthusiasts to turn emerging topics into practical insights. These collaborative conversations give attendees an opportunity to expand their knowledge, hear directly from specialists, and explore strategies they can apply beyond the seminar.

Whether you're continuing education to further your career, an undergraduate student analyzing your options, or simply wanting further insight on where the digital world is headed, Taste of Tech creates accessibility to learning. Come curious, ask questions, and expand your perspective.

This #TechTuesday, we're spotlighting AI transparency in agriculture! 🌱

@Uflorida graduate student Anna Hampton explains how her research at the UF Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering (@ufwertheim) uses machine learning and remote sensing to better understand how AI systems make decisions in agricultural applications.

As part of the Machine Learning and Sensing Lab in @ECEFlorida, this research focuses on methods that help AI models explain their reasoning and recognize when they are uncertain. It aims to increase the reliability and trustworthiness of AI systems, helping users confidently rely on AI recommendations in both medical and agricultural settings.

🎥 Watch the segment above or visit our link in bio to learn more. Special thanks to @SCAD.Media and @WCJB20 for producing this feature.

“Gift to your future self”

I came across this picture today during a random search on @bing. My first thought was, when was this taken? It feels like ages ago! Then I remembered Harry (@eceflorida) asking me to stop by for a quick picture, and I decided to walk over to Larsen Hall. Proud to be a ECE Ambassador! Even we graduated, aren’t we still the ambassadors? We carry the Badge of Honor and Sing the Anthem.. Go Gators! 🐊

Thanks, Harry!
This photo truly feels like a “Gift to your future self.”
Good days at @ufwertheim @uflorida!
