A team of FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers has developed an advanced materials testing device, a finding that may revolutionize how companies test polymer composites in the future.
The nature of a pandemic is to disrupt.
A factory in Shanghai recently closed because of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. The temporary shutdown caused a product they produce—contrast media used medical imaging—to be in short supply. The closure caused shortages in the U.S. and across the globe.
Okenwa Okoli, professor and past chair of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, was recently named the new dean of the University of Memphis Herff College of Engineering in Memphis, Tennessee. He takes the helm in January 2023.
Interim Dean Farrukh Alvi announced today the appointment of Changchun (Chad) Zeng, Ph.D. as the chair of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME). Zeng begins the new role on July 1, 2022.
“Chad has been one of our most active researchers in recent years and I’m honored to appoint him to this leadership role,” Alvi said. “His experience and vigor will bring a fresh perspective to the department and a new voice to our college executive committee.”
