A tenure-track position is the unicorn of academia, but students are finding jobs after earning their doctorate degrees at UCF and going onto places like NC State, Notre Dame, and the University of Toronto.

Seven UCF graduate students will receive tuition scholarships, living stipends and paid internships funded through a national program.

The recipients are engineers who work with interdisciplinary teams to solve tech and health problems.

The award comes at a time when cyber threats are becoming more prevalent, from stolen customer information to the hacking of government data and more recently, breaching the security of a Florida water plant.

The NSF-funded, $1.2 million project also involves developing community partnerships and building a regional data-sharing platform to help with emergency responses.

The new UCF co-developed algorithm can accurately identify COVID-19 cases, as well as distinguish them from influenza.

The competition included teams from IBM, MIT and Carnegie Mellon University.
