Undergraduate research is taking center stage at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, where students are already publishing research on some of today’s biggest technology challenges!

Computer science student Kien Le and chemical and biomedical engineering student Joseph Lindley collaborated on AI systems that analyze heart signals while protecting sensitive patient information, allowing hospitals to benefit from shared AI insights without exchanging private medical data. Meanwhile, electrical and computer engineering students Joseph Yousry Attalla and Patriot Benton helped develop a more efficient computer chip design for running AI tasks, with their research accepted at an international conference.

Both projects began through hands-on learning and research opportunities at the college, showing how students can turn classroom knowledge into published work with real-world applications.

The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is expanding its research driven by artificial intelligence with $400,000 in grants to establish two Engineering Intelligence Testbeds. The initiative will support two faculty research proposals over the next two years and aims to position the college at the forefront of AI-enabled engineering in the United States.

The college’s goal is to establish leading expertise in critical areas, build interdisciplinary teams and work with industry and government partners to solve grand challenges and speed technology transfer into U.S. industries. The testbeds are designed as shared platforms that encourage collaboration across departments and research centers, with workflows that connect data, models, computing, simulation and hands-on experimentation.

GeoXAI, a new tool developed by researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, uses artificial intelligence and geographic data to reveal where and why crashes occur, giving transportation agencies the insight they need to target safety solutions with precision.

The study is led by Qianwen (Vivian) Guo, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering. The researchers analyzed data from more than 1 million crashes in 2023 and 2024, studying patterns at the census-tract level. Guo said the study is among the first to use geospatial explainable artificial intelligence to analyze traffic crashes.

The framework could help transportation agencies, including the U.S. Department of Transportation and local partners, pinpoint areas with the highest safety needs. By identifying where and why crash risks are elevated, agencies can design strategies tailored to each community.

🩸 Standard blood tests can diagnose sickle cell disease, but they can’t predict when a patient’s cells will jam a tiny vessel. A FAMU-FSU engineer is training AI to read that risk from a single drop of blood.

The project is led by Z. Leonardo Liu, an assistant professor of chemical and biomedical engineering. Liu currently has a postdoctoral fellow and an undergraduate student on his team. Their approach combines microfluidic chip experiments, computer simulations and physics-informed artificial intelligence to probe the mysteries of microvascular blood flow.

The goal is a method fast and affordable enough for use in a clinic or at the bedside, allowing doctors to track a patient’s condition over time. The researchers expect the project to lay the groundwork for next-generation diagnostic tools that could improve how clinicians assess disease, monitor treatment and develop new therapies.

What if the key to helping the brain heal after a stroke lies in its own natural repair system? 🧠Yan Li, a professor of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, has received a $2.24 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a potential new stroke treatment. Her team is engineering tiny particles called extracellular vesicles that carry biological signals between cells to reduce harmful inflammation and encourage brain tissue repair.

Working with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and the FSU College of Medicine, researchers will test these particles on miniature, lab-grown models of human brain tissue. The goal? Develop a cell-free therapy that could help stroke survivors recover without transplanting living cells. This research is a powerful example of how engineering and medicine can work together to advance healthcare and improve lives.

3D printing is reshaping the future of lightweight, impact-resistant materials. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are developing a next-generation material that combines 3D printing with cushioning foam to create a lightweight and impact-resistant composite. The study was led by Assistant Professor Jizhe Cai and doctoral candidate Emmanuel Dada, and co-led by Ramathasan Thevamaran, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Together, their team developed a 3D-printed framework filled with cushioning foam.

Even better, researchers can customize the material’s internal structure to control how and where it compresses during an impact! This technology could eventually improve helmet liners, protective padding and vehicle safety systems. By combining advanced manufacturing and materials science, these engineers are exploring new ways to make everyday products safer without adding unnecessary weight.

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are turning food and agricultural waste into "hydrochar." This carbon-rich material can capture harmful heavy metals, such as copper, from contaminated water. Researcher Modupe Ojewumi and Professor Gang Chen compared two ways to produce hydrochar: pressure-reactor carbonization and microwave-assisted carbonization.

They found that each method creates materials with different structures and strengths, with one effectively capturing metals in a consistent layer and the other attracting them more quickly through multiple mechanisms. Their findings could help engineers develop more efficient, sustainable water-treatment methods while giving food waste a second life. It's a great example of how engineering can turn everyday waste into solutions for real-world environmental challenges!

Two FAMU-FSU College of Engineering professors, Ralm Ricarte and Junliang Liu, have each received $875,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy to advance groundbreaking energy research. Ricarte is developing tougher, more adaptable rubber materials that can absorb energy and withstand repeated stress, while Liu is researching materials capable of surviving the extreme conditions inside nuclear fusion reactors.

This technology could one day provide clean energy for the electrical grid. Both professors were the only FSU researchers and the only two in Florida selected for the prestigious 2026 awards! Additionally, the funding will create opportunities for students to gain hands-on research experience with advanced technology, computational tools and experimental techniques.
