FAMU-FSU Engineering and Florida A&M University graduate student Olumide Abioye was recognized for his outstanding student paper at the 44th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop. Abioye’s paper titled, “A Novel Model for Emergency Evacuation Planning,” focused on presenting a mixed-integer programming model that assigns individuals to emergency shelters through evacuation routes during available time periods. The research was based on emergency evacuation in Broward County, Florida, an area often hard hit by natural disasters.
