A team of FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers at the High-Performance Materials Institute (HPMI) has completed a novel study on the extreme temperature thermal stability of purified boron nitride nanotubes, also known as BNNTs. The discovery has applications in everything from deep space travel to medicine delivery systems, including electronics.

Research to improve 3D printing algorithms, develop better materials for measuring radiation and test the effectiveness of steroid treatments all received funding from a Florida State University program that supports faculty interested in transforming their academic work into commercial ventures.

FSU’s Office of the Vice President for Research awarded faculty members more than $132,000 through the Fall 2022 GAP Commercialization Investment Program.

Over 24 years ago, Okenwa Okoli, professor and past chair of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, stepped onto the campus and began a career that has since shaped the lives of all who have known him.

The saying, “bend but do not break” defines young engineering researcher Ana De Leon. For her, the joint college and collegiate circus provide the intersection of athleticism, entertainment and scientific research that she loves.

Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Virginia Tech are collaborating to advance smart manufacturing and advanced material manufacturing using artificial intelligence. The novel technique may enhance performance by alleviating the uncertainties associated with operations.

Clarke Miley, a graduate student in engineering management, a degree in the industrial and manufacturing engineering department, won a run-off election during FAMU’s Fall 2022 student election week. She was elected Miss Graduate Attendant for FAMU’s Royal Court and represents all FAMU graduate students, including the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the Florida State University Department of Statistics are teaming up in a National Science Foundation-funded study that could help people perform better in manufacturing and other industries that rely on humans.

Through Florida A&M University, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering recently received a total of $7.5 million in funding for state-of-the-art research equipment from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). These three equipment grants are set aside for research programs associated with HBCUs and will enhance the college’s production of Black and other minority future engineering faculty.
