Overview

Chemical engineers are involved in the manufacturing of products as varied as petrochemicals, plastics, textiles, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biochemicals, metals and semiconductors.

Biomedical engineers apply engineering to the human body, often working on medical research, designing medical devices and developing new technologies for monitoring and improving human health.

Solving Important Microscale Challenges with AI

In a new study, researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are advancing the power of high-performance computing powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to combat blood disorders like thrombosis that cause heart attacks and strokes. 

Leo Liu, an assistant professor in the joint college’s Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, leads a collaborative effort as part of a $1 million grant from the Laboratories Directed Research and Development (LDRD) program provided by Sandia National Labs.
