Engineering alumnus partners with college researchers to build better graphene-based aircraft batteries for NASA

Moye Consultants is partnering with researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering to make more efficient graphene-based aircraft batteries. The collaboration is part of a NASA initiative to foster partnerships between minority institutions and small businesses. 

“For years, NASA has wanted to electrify, or at least partially electrify aviation of all shapes and forms,” Davis George Moye, founder of Moye Consultants said. “By taking the lead, NASA hopes to find low carbon options for industries that historically produce a lot of carbon emissions, such as aviation.”

Alumni Spotlight: Keishon Smith shares his surprising journey from college engineering hackathon participant to financial professional

After a year of waiting, Keishon Smith finally got to walk—in person—for his 2020 graduation ceremony at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. He like, so many 2020 graduates, had his senior year dampened by the pandemic.

“It was nice to have my parents watch me walk across the stage at graduation after a 15-month delay,” Smith said.” I’m the first one out of my immediate family to graduate college.”
