Graduate Research Collaborations at ORNL (Workshop)

Graduate engineering students and faculty advisors are invited to a presentation given by William Jenks of ORNL’s Office of Research Education to learn about opportunities and mechanisms by which graduate students can come to the ORNL campus for extended periods to carry out dissertation-related research in areas of mutual interest to their major professor and ORNL scientists. These include both DOE-funded and ORNL/university-funded options. Both faculty and interested graduate students are encouraged to attend.

ORNL Internship Opportunities for Undergraduates (Workshop)

Undergraduate engineering students are invited to a presentation given by William Jenks of ORNL’s Office of Research Education to learn about ORNL’s many opportunities for summer internships and other student programs aimed at undergraduates and recent graduates. The session will give you an idea of different research areas and the keys to a successful application.

Applications for Summer 2025 will open in October. The presentation will give information on multiple Summer 2025 internship opportunities, including:

Researchers Earn Nearly $1.5M from EPA to Study South Florida Waterways

An interdisciplinary team of Florida State University researchers is set to tackle some of Florida’s most pressing environmental issues thanks to nearly $1.5 million in funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The team will collaborate on three EPA-funded projects to examine South Florida’s waterways from three different perspectives: pesticide and fertilizer transport, water pollution, and threats to groundwater.

Identifying Hidden Health Impacts of Hurricanes and Flood Damage

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, a groundbreaking FAMU-FSU College of Engineering research project funded by National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) dives deep into the indirect impacts of flooding on residential buildings, indoor air quality and human respiratory health. 

Ebrahim Ahmadisharaf, a researcher at the Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response (RIDER) Center in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is spearheading

Environmental Engineering Researcher Inspires Students in South Africa

Professor Gang Chen, a faculty member in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, recently returned from the 2024 EnergyWaterFoodClimate Nexus International Summit in Durban, South Africa enthusiastic about the experience and its future potential.

“I was deeply impressed by these high school students and their willingness to do more to protect the environment,” Chen said. “A lot of them are from poor communities and are eager to do something to help.
