The principles of superconductivity make a variety of modern technological marvels possible. MRI machines, maglev trains and high-energy particle accelerators work because of superconductivity.

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Professor Theo Siegrist will research materials that could improve the performance of superconductors thanks to a grant of nearly $500,000 from the National Science Foundation.

Engineering researchers are developing infinitely recyclable and degradable polymer plastics used for biomaterials—that when re-synthesized, yield a polymer substantially better than the original. 

Hoyong Chung, an associate professor in chemical and biomedical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, is leading the National Science Foundation (NSF) study. 

Several engineering faculty at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering were promoted or granted tenure this year.

These changes take effect now, at the start of the Fall 2022 semester. Join us in congratulating these deserving instructors and researchers, all of which are jointly appointed at both Florida A&M and Florida State universities as part of their affiliation with our joint college.

Summer is coming to a close, and the new academic year is an exciting time on campus. New and returning faculty and staff had the chance to meet Suvranu De, the new dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, and to celebrate the year the college turns 40. 

More than 12 new faculty bring new energy to the engineering community of over 300 faculty and staff at the college. De shared some thoughts about being at the helm and expressed his desire to meet everyone personally on his staff. His message of serving was warmly greeted by the enthusiastic crowd. 

Florida State University researchers have developed a promising strategy for producing therapeutic particles in stem cells, work that could help patients with neurological diseases such as stroke or multiple sclerosis.

The technique developed by researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and FSU College of Medicine combines three-dimensional growing platforms with a wave motion.

Food, memories & football in Tallahassee on September 23!

This is the 40th anniversary year of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, and we’re celebrating 2022 in a big way! On September 23, join us for the 40th Anniversary Green & Gold Tailgate, a party designed for Rattler Engineers and Nole Engineers to celebrate together. Activites include:

Could simple sodium be the secret to how migraine spreads through the human brain?

Despite migraine being the sixth-most-debilitating illness in the world—with healthcare and lost productivity costs estimated to be as much as $36 billion in the U.S. alone—why it occurs and how it propagates in the brain has not been well understood.
