The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 was just awarded to three renowned scientists for the development of quantum dots—nanoparticles so small that their properties are determined by quantum phenomena—or their size instead of the number of electrons in the element.

Quantum dots are now used to illuminate televisions and computer screens, LED lamps, and help guide surgeons in removal of tumor tissue.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering welcomed one of its largest graduate enrollment classes in the history of the college.

Suvranu De, a mechanical engineering professor and dean of the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, co-edited a book entitled “Multiscale Modeling in Biomechanics and Mechanobiology,” almost ten years ago. Recently, the book has emerged in the top 20% of all cited books in the Springer collection.

Several new faculty across four departments joined our ranks this semester, including a very esteemed hire in Rams Ramamoorthy as a Professor in chemical and biomedical engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. 

Several engineering faculty at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering were promoted or granted tenure this year.

These changes took effect now, at the start of the Fall 2023 semester. Join us in congratulating these deserving instructors and researchers, all of whom are jointly appointed at both Florida A&M and Florida State universities as part of their affiliation with our joint college.
