Teng Ma earned his BS in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University, China in 1989, his MS in Biosystems Engineering from the University of Hawaii in 1994, and his PhD in Chemical Engineering from Ohio State University in 1999. Following a postdoctoral position at the Ohio State University Medical Center OB/GYN Department, he joined the Department of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Dr. Ma progressed through the ranks as an Assistant Professor (2000-6), Associate Professor (2006-11), and Professor (2011-present).

Dear FAMU-FSU College of Engineering students,

Although classes at both main campuses will be suspended on their respective Homecoming Day (see dates below), classes at the College of Engineering will be held as usual.  

Two FAMU-FSU Engineering students were part of the Florida State University (FSU) team who won gold this year at the 2019 iGEM Giant Jamboree in Boston. The competition included 360 teams who showcased their research and competed for awards.

The Seminole 100 list for 2020 was released yesterday and four FAMU-FSU Engineering alumni businesses are among the honorees. Three of the businesses are repeat awardees for the honor. The list recognizes the fastest-growing businesses owned or managed by Florida State University alumni, some of whom are responsible for some of the most innovative and profitable companies in America. The official ceremony will be held in February 2020 to honor graduates.

Mr. Wright C. Finney joined the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in 1992 as an Associate in Research.  He earned a BS in Biological Sciences (1975) with minors in chemistry and mathematics from FSU and an MS in Marine Ecology and Systematic Zoology (1978) with specialization in statistics working with Professor Larry Abele (later Provost Abele) at FSU.

Ryan Robertson graduated in spring 2019 with a degree in chemical engineering and specific interest in petroleum processing. As a new engineer, he is determined to use his momentum and skills to make a difference in the petroleum engineering industry. As an engineer at Shell, he’s on his way to that goal.

During the summer of 2019, chemical engineering doctoral candidate Roneisha Haney (FAMU) and her faculty advisor Subramanian Ramakrishnan, Ph.D., received a unique opportunity through the National Science Foundation to work at Wright-Patterson Air Force Research Laboratory. The two focused their efforts on additively manufacturing light-weight nanocomposites for the USAF with enhanced strength and electrical/thermal properties.

Good afternoon,

From the cleaning solutions disinfecting kitchen counters to the ventilators helping keep patients alive, chemical and biomedical engineers have a big role to play in humanity’s efforts to fight COVID-19.
