Giving Back Pays Big Dividends for This Undergrad
Lauren Bishop is taking every opportunity she sees to make a positive impact before she graduates this spring.
From organizations to volunteering, the Florida State University chemical engineering undergrad takes time to make a difference.
Professor Yan Li inducted into the 2024 Class of the AIMBE College of Fellows
The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the induction of Yan Li, a chemical and biomedical engineering professor in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, to its College of Fellows.
Li was nominated, reviewed and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows for addressing critical challenges in neurological tissue regeneration, service to the biomedical profession, and inspiring female and minority students.

Undergrad Making a Difference to Solve Environmental Problems
Fourth-year chemical engineering student Brooke Gilbert says one of her favorite things about the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is the small, tight-knit community that makes up the college.
“I think the family atmosphere here fosters an inclusive and cohesive class of engineers,” the Ft. Lauderdale native explained.
Faculty Tenure and Promotions for Spring ‘24
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering proudly announces our engineering faculty members promoted or granted tenure this year.
Jointly appointed at both Florida A&M and Florida State universities, our instructors and researchers are recognized and highly regarded for their support in the mission and success of the college. Congratulations for all their hard work! These promotions take effect in Fall 2024.
Currently, nearly 50% of all food production is enhanced with fertilizer made by the Haber-Bosch (HB) process. Invented in 1914, this process utilizes purification techniques to refine hydrogen from fossil fuels, then combines it at high pressures and temperatures with nitrogen gas at massive scales. At the time, many scientists believed that alternative methods would inevitably replace the resource-intensive fossil fuel basis. More than 100 years and hundreds of major scientific advancements later, that is finally becoming reality.

Chocolate is the most popular candy produced in the world. Traditionally, it is presented as bars or nuggets, or molded and sculpted with a great deal of manpower and time. However, with an accessible 3D printer, people could create a custom chocolate figure at a much lower price. Our objective was to design and optimize a procedure to adapt an inexpensive 3D printer to “print” chocolate structures and establish a standard procedure to do so.

As electrical demands continue to increase, so do demands for cooling, particularly when applied to portable power and power storage systems. Lithium-ion, the preferred energy storage system, requires tight temperature control to operate efficiently and safely. We researched the applications of thermoelectric cooling compared to traditional cooling systems such as liquid and blower cooling systems.
