Engineering Students Earn Prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowships for Innovative Research

Several students from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering recently received prestigious recognition in the 2025 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP).

This highly competitive national program, the oldest in the U.S., provides substantial financial support to exceptional graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in STEM fields.

Engineers Revolutionize Space Manufacturing with Breakthrough 3D Printing Advances

Joint college researchers develop revolutionary materials enabling astronauts to manufacture components during missions

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are developing breakthrough technologies in advanced 3D printing that could fundamentally transform how astronauts sustain themselves during long-duration space missions. These technologies would enable on-demand manufacturing in the challenging environments of space.

FSU Biomedical Engineering Undergrad Wins 2025 InNOLEvation Challenge

Medical technology startup ATHENGUARD was named the winner of the $10,000 first-place prize at the 13th annual InNOLEvation® Challenge Finals Friday, March 28.

ATHENGUARD, founded by Saiabhinav “Sai” Devulapalli, addresses the pervasive issue of sports-related concussions (SCs) and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in the workforce. Devulapalli is a senior studying Biomedical Engineering in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

Many presbyopes with age-related farsightedness require multifocal lenses to correct multiple refractive errors (near and farsightedness). After initial screening, prescribing multifocal lenses relies on a heuristic approach, requiring patients to try their lenses before reporting visual issues. We need a more effective method to determine prescriptions for multifocal lenses in presbyopic eyes, measured by fewer return appointments for fittings or post-fitting surveys assessing fit quality. We designed the Apex Viewer to simulate how multifocal lenses work in real-life environments.
