A FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researcher is developing technology to protect the electric grids of the future.

Graduate Student Spotlight

Migara Amarasinghe has always been fascinated by the inner workings of computers.

Originally from Kurunegala, Sri Lanka, Amarasinghe will graduate in 2024 from the nation’s joint college and Florida State University. The electrical and computer engineering doctoral candidate works as a research assistant in heterogeneous computing and AI and is a teaching assistant in microprocessor-based system design. 

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Marmon Holdings recently hosted Innovate-O-Thon, a 24-hour design challenge where 32 students teamed up for the chance to use technology to tackle the problem of unsightly waste and recycling receptacles. The event was open to undergraduate and graduate students from all majors across both campuses.  

FAMU-FSU Engineering researchers have developed a novel technique for real-time RF signal processing.

The technology boosts the computation speed needed for operations that involve artificial intelligence, wideband wireless communication, quantum computing and brain-to-machine interaction.
