Tabrizian Receives Prestigious DARPA Director’s Fellowship Award

Dr. Roozbeh Tabrizian has been selected to receive a highly prestigious Director’s Fellowship from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Dr. Tabrizian is the first faculty member at UF to receive this highly competitive fellowship award. The Director’s Fellowship is awarded to just a handful of exceptionally talented researchers who have previously been awarded the DARPA Young Faculty Award (YFA), a distinction earned by Dr. Tabrizian in 2019.

The DARPA YFA is a highly competitive research program among assistant and associate professors in a wide range of research—from engineering, physics, chemistry to computer science and social science. The target of the YFA program is to identify, engage, and develop rising stars in academia to enable pivotal breakthrough technologies for national security. At the end of the initial two-year program, DARPA YFA awardees with exceptional technical accomplishments and leadership are selected for the highly competitive Director’s Fellowship which provides funding and support for a third year to extend their impactful and risk-taking research explorations.
