The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering will serve as the coordinating hub for a landmark national defense contract that positions Florida State University among an elite tier of research institutions eligible to compete for homeland security projects over the next decade.

Florida State University has been awarded a contract for the Missile Defense Agency’s Scalable H

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Associate Professor Shreyas Balachandran recently received the prestigious Early Career Award from the Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, under the DOE’s Accelerator Research and Development (ARDAP) Program. It will provide $875,000 over five years.

The award provides Balachandran with support to develop superconducting radio frequency materials to enable linear accelerators—a critical technology for the United States.

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell technology to new applications like sustainable energy and water treatment.

In a study published in Frontiers in Membrane Science and Technology, the researchers examined a type of membrane called a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membrane, or PFSA polymer membrane. These membranes act as filters, allowing protons to move through, but blocking electrons and gases.

A Florida State University faculty researcher at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering has secured a groundbreaking $3.9 million grant from the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance cutting-edge hypersonic technology research.
