- Wen-Xiu Ma is a 2016 Highly-Cited Researcher
- 11/16
 - Professor Wen-Xiu Ma was selected for the Thomson Reuters 2016 list of Highly Cited Researchers. (The period of analysis used for the list pertain to publications from the period 2004-2014). He is among only four researchers from USF (as primary affiliation) that have been selected for this list. Highly Cited Researchers 2016 identifies the world’s most influential contemporary researchers across 21 scientific fields. Over three thousand researchers earned the distinction by writing the greatest numbers of reports officially designated by Essential Science Indicators (ESI) as Highly Cited Papers—ranking among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and year of publication, earning them the mark of exceptional impact.
- USF Rocket Club SOARs Under Manougian's Guidance
- 10/16
 - The Society of Aeronautics and Rocketry (SOAR), a student organization at USF with Professor Manougian Manougian as faculty advisor, was recently invited to participate in the 2016–2017 Hybrid Motor Rocket competition sponsored by NASA. This is the second statewide competition, and last year they entered a national competition. They have won awards. Funds have been provided by NASA. Membership in the Society has soared (no pun intended) to well over 140 students.
- Jean-François Biasse Awarded Simons Grant
- 9/16
 ![]() - Dr. Jean-François Biasse was awarded a $35,000 collaborative grant over 5 years from the Simons Foundation. The project is titled “Algorithms in Number Theory, Quantum Information, and Cryptography” and its goal is to investigate algorithms for solving computational problems in number theory and to find quantum-resistant cryptographic schemes to replace the existing ones (which do not feature quantum-safety).
- Kaiqi Xiong Awarded a Series of BBN/NSF Grants
- 9/16
 ![]() - Dr. Kaiqi Xiong has received several NSF and BBN/NSF grants in cybersecurity research and education totalling approximately $750,000. The topics of his funded projects include: computer security and networking with applications to smartphones, cloud computing, power grids, user behavior analytics with social sciences, and emergency response.
- Vilmos Totik Awarded $100,000 Grant
- 9/16
 ![]() - Professor Vilmos Totik has received a three-year (100k) NSF award for a project titled “Polynomial Inequalities and Applications”. This research project concerns mathematical analysis, in particular in approximation theory, orthogonal polynomials, and potential theory. Vilmos Totik has an amazing success rate with NSF having been supported continuously for the last 25 years.

- Nataša Jonoska is one of USF's Outstanding Researchers
- 08/15
 - Professor Nataša Jonoska has received a 2015 Outstanding Research Achievement Award (ORAA). The annual awards are part of an open competition, judged by the USF System Research Council, to highlight professional acclaim received by the recipients from their national and international peers for their research. The 2015 award further recognizes faculty who have received truly exceptional recognition with preeminent awards, grants, or publications in top journals during the 2014 calendar year.
- Nataša Jonoska Awarded $200,000 Grant
- 07/15
- Nataša Jonoska was awarded a $200,000 collaborative grant from the National Science Foundation in the area of molecular programming. The goal of the project is to develop a methodology for environmental control within the DNA self-assembly process to direct molecular interactions in a preprogrammed manner. This will enable self-assembly of a variety of preprogrammed molecular shapes from the same set of building blocks, which can then serve as scaffolds for nanoelectronic components. The title of the project is “AF: Small:Collaborative Research: Programmed Cyclic Molecular Dancing on 2D Origami Lattices” and is in collaboration with chemist Dr. Nadrian Seeman from New York University.
