First-year Florida State University engineering doctoral student Gary Germanton recently received the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, considered one of the nation’s most prestigious honors for graduate students beginning their studies. 

Germanton is studying chemical engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and does his research at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in collaboration with researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

The human circulatory system is a marvel that stretches out over more than 60,000 miles within an adult body. Keeping it functioning properly is a crucial part of maintaining good health, especially as people age and the circulatory system weakens.

On April 7, the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering honored outstanding faculty and staff at the annual College Awards Night Banquet at the Capital City Country Club in Tallahassee, Florida. Ditching their sneakers, the engineering campus community celebrated the success of their students and peers on a warm night of fellowship.
 
The awards recognize employees who go above and beyond their day-to-day duties to serve the engineering campus community. Students from several top senior design teams were also honored at the event.        

More than a dozen of our FAMU-FSU College of Engineering faculty members have active labs at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Using the world’s most powerful magnet technology, they study everything from human neurobiology to complex fluid mechanics. See what’s behind the scenes at the National “MagLab” just steps from our college.

After just one year on the job, Balaji Krishna Kumar has made an immediate impact on the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering’s research culture. Kumar is a postdoctoral researcher at the National Science Foundation-CREST program at the college and works with Florida A&M University doctoral students and undergraduate program interns on novel materials research.
