Researchers at the joint college have developed a new AI framework that can predict dangerous E. coli contamination in recreational waterways before traditional lab tests. Led by Nasrin Alamdari and the RIDER Center, the system uses environmental and hydrometeorological data such as rainfall, streamflow, turbidity and temperature to identify contamination risks with about 85% accuracy.

The research, published in Water Research, highlights how delayed testing can harm public health, local tourism and municipal budgets, especially during sewage spills, storms and increasing urban development. Researchers say the predictive model offers a proactive alternative to traditional monitoring by helping water managers respond faster, reduce unnecessary beach closures and better prepare for climate-driven increases in water contamination risk.

FAMU-FSU Engineers have published new findings to Predict Carbon Nanotube Composite Durability. By subjecting advanced nanomaterials to extreme conditions in the lab, they aim to predict how these materials will perform over years of real-world use, before they are ever installed in a vehicle, a structure or a spacecraft.

The next phase of the work will focus on using insights from this study to develop manufacturing methods that improve interfacial adhesion, with the goal of producing composites that are lighter, stronger and more durable across aerospace, automotive and energy applications.

Three students from Leon County Schools represented Florida’s Capital Regional Science and Engineering Fair 2026, the world’s largest pre-collegiate STEM competition. Shaoxuan Ma, daughter of the late Dr. Teng Ma, earned $3,000 from the National Anti-Vivisection Society and $500 from the Patent and Trademark Office Society for her project, “Human Stem Cell Derived Extracellular Vesicles for the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Disease.” The students were sponsored by Florida State University Office of STEM Activities, the Tallahassee Scientific Society and Leon County Schools to compete alongside 1,727 young scientists, engineers and inventors from around the world.

The College of Engineering partnered with Florida A&M University to establish the Center for Quantum Science and Engineering, which debuted in spring 2026. Located in the Engineering Village at Innovation Park in Tallahassee, the center will serve as a hub for interdisciplinary research and workforce training in one of the fastest-growing areas of science and technology.

The center’s facilities will include experimental labs for nanofabrication, low-temperature characterization, quantum chip design and microelectronic assembly, supported by an IBM quantum computer and other industry partnerships. By expanding quantum computing capabilities, the center is also positioned to strengthen FAMU’s research profile as a recognized R2 institution and nationally prominent HBCU working toward R1 research status.

🔋🌱Read about how PFSA polymer membranes will improve sustainable energy and water treatment: https://bit.ly/43lraHz | Researchers at the joint college studied how boiling pretreatments affect the performance of perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polymer membranes, used in fuel cells and other electrochemical systems. PFSA membranes are essential components in batteries for renewable energy storage.

Understanding how to use these membranes could improve sustainability of large-scale clean energy systems while also advancing water purification. The research gives scientists a clearer path for designing membranes that balance speed and precision depending on the application, ultimately supporting more affordable clean energy, improved battery technology, and more effective water treatment solutions.

The published study is co-authored by Professor Daniel Hallinan Jr. The work was supported by National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory's Research Experiences for Undergraduates.
