The Seminole 100 Celebration recently revealed a list of the hundred fastest-growing businesses in the U.S. owned by Florida State University alumni. The list included six businesses owned or managed by graduates of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. 

Danny Georgiadis, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing (IME) at the FAMUFSU College of Engineering was awarded Engineer of the Year in 2018 by the District of Columbia Council of Engineering and Architectural Societies (DCCEAS). Georgiadis was nominated by the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE).

Jacquay Henderson is a FAMU-FSU alumnus and founder and CEO of Square Peg Technologies, a Washington, D.C-based company that utilizes data science and analytics to find strategies for optimizing the quality and performance of their clients.

Good afternoon,

Alexis Riley is a senior industrial engineering student from Indianapolis and she’s on a mission to make a difference as a woman engineer.

Bryan Anderson, a fifth-year industrial engineering student from Coral Springs, Florida, has a passion for solving problems, whether they are academic or practical. This dovetails nicely with his seat on the Student Engineering Leadership Board (SELB).

When Jonathan Yepez was young, he was great at English and history, but math was a different story. All the way up to high school—and almost failing algebra—Yepez struggled with the skill. One day it hit him that he was struggling because he hadn’t mastered the basics in elementary school.

Now a fourth-year industrial engineering student at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Yepez prides himself to be a “math, history, English” guy. He’s determined to pass that “ah-ha” moment on to the next generation.

Each weekday, FAMU-FSU College of Engineering undergraduates Herbert Lopez, Ana De Leon, Paola Chavez and Austin Rodriguez collaborate at the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS) research facility to create a novel medium voltage cable that aims to have reduced reactive power than the ones currently used throughout the continental U.S. If they are successful, the cable could pave the way for improved power transmission efficiency on electric grids across the nation.
