Cradle of Innovation
From nanoparticles all the way to outer space, engineering faculty are developing the materials and manufacturing of the future
The High Performance Materials Institute (HPMI) is a “village” that utilizes the talents of its multidisciplinary researchers to create and refine cutting-edge materials to revolutionize science and commerce. It’s also the main research center for the FAMUFSU College of Engineering’s Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME).
Engineering materials researcher named to National Academy of Inventors
A FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University researcher has been named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors for his innovative work with carbon nanotubes and other composite materials.
Combining engineering and social work to increase disaster resiliency during pandemics for various populations
Multidisciplinary researchers get National Science Foundation grant for co-occurring pandemic and hurricane shelter study
Every summer, the risk of hurricanes threatens destruction and poses the need for an evacuation from coastal areas in Florida. During the COVID pandemic, evacuation and emergency planners must also consider how to safely meet the sheltering needs of populations without increasing the number of infections. The most vulnerable are especially at risk.
