Subramanian Ramakrishnan, a FAMU-FSU College of Engineering professor in the Department of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering, was recently awarded a $300,000 grant from NASA to inspire students to participate in research for the science agency and to pursue STEM degrees.

They will get valuable training and help build next-generation sensors needed for NASA’s space program. 

Modern life relies on plastic. This lightweight, adaptable product is a cornerstone of packaging, medical equipment, the aerospace and automotive industries and more. But plastic waste remains a problem as it degrades in landfills and pollutes oceans.

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. 

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.

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.
