On behalf of the Department of Chemical & Biomedical Engineering at the FAMU‐FSU
College of Engineering, I wish to extend to you our sincerest welcome to the Annual
Departmental Research Day. This yearly event allows our graduate students,
undergraduates and postdoctoral fellows to put their research efforts on display. We
are proud of the work performed by our students and trainees, and this event gives
them the opportunity to defend their research and discuss it among peers and faculty
in an informal setting. These kinds of exchanges are critical to the education of our
students but also provide a forum or scientific review and critique. As such, this event
helps not only our students and trainees to mature but also helps their engineering and
scientific work to mature.
Representing some of the superior research performed at the FAMU‐FSU College of
Engineering, this year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Jim Zheng, Sprint Eminent Scholar Chair
in Electrical & Computer Engineering Professor and courtesy professor in Chemical &
Biomedical Engineering. We thank Dr. Zheng for sharing some of his research and
participating in this day.
We also greatly appreciate the support of the sponsors of this event. And we look
forward to a day of fruitful discussions, conversations and networking among students,
fellows and faculty.
With Regards,
Samuel C. Grant, PhD
CBE Graduate Coordinator
