Paving the Way for More Multicultural Engineers in Applied Superconductivity

Through Florida A&M University, researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering recently secured a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy that ensures a future workforce more reflective of the demographics of the nation. 

The new RENEW program (Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce) develops a strong pipeline for traditionally smaller-population undergraduate and graduate engineering students to pursue the field of applied superconductivity. 

Graduate Students Win Awards at 2023 James Brooks Symposium

Four materials science and engineering graduate students from Florida State University and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering were recently named winners of the 2023 James Brooks Symposium oral presentation competition. 

The April 21, 2023 competition was open to students in the interdisciplinary Materials Science and Engineering graduate program at the college. Each student talked about their current research. 

FAMU-FSU Graduate Students Awarded Jan Evetts Award and IEEE Fellowships at the 2022 Applied Superconductivity Conference

Yavuz Oz, a post-doctoral researcher at the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) took first place for the best paper published in Superconductor Science and Technology (SUST) by a young researcher. The Jan Evetts SUST Award was presented to Oz at the 2022 Applied Superconductivity Conference, held this Fall.
