As technology advances, so has the prevalence of 3D printing. The ease of sending a design file to a printer is unrivaled, and the new possibility of creating complex structures is revolutionary compared to age-old construction techniques. However, as humanity innovates, the waste produced by this expansion is unprecedented. The waste products from modern constructionContinue reading “Rameen Ahmad: Pivoting to a More Sustainable Route”

Peter Fasano: Hurdles to Xenharmonic Computation
Greetings Esteemed Reader, This past month, completing a big band arrangement of ‘Smart Race’ and finishing the theme of ‘Celebration’, the last movement of my big band suite, revealed some persistent problems I’ll be facing in my tuning methodology. The Lumatone is anticipated to give me insight on said methods, however, it is stuck inContinue reading “Peter Fasano: Hurdles to Xenharmonic Computation”
Resources and Reminiscing: My Journey into Research and FSU’s Role
One of my main goals while pursuing research is to deepen my understanding of the concepts I learn in class and apply them to the advancement of knowledge. To me, research bridges the gap between theory and real-world application. A perfect example of this was during my Strength of Materials course, where we studied howContinue reading “Resources and Reminiscing: My Journey into Research and FSU’s Role”
Rameen Ahmad: Experimenting with Natural Fiber 3D Printed Materials
Hello! My name is Rameen and I am an undergraduate student majoring in civil and environmental engineering. I’ve always wanted to be involved in research, since pursuing a PhD is my final goal. One day, I hope to be a professor to ultimately pay forward the knowledge I have gained. Thus, participating in and developingContinue reading “Rameen Ahmad: Experimenting with Natural Fiber 3D Printed Materials”
Creating Better Concrete
Hi everyone! We have begun our second drying process for our Sargassum muticum specimens. We are using leftover specimens from a previous experiment that had been air dried for 1 week, although the algae needs to be further dried in order to be properly ground into the powder needed for refluxation. The main objective ofContinue reading “Creating Better Concrete”
Incremental Improvement in Experimental Design
During May, I have been primarily working on fixing some of the issues that we previously encountered with our current way of developing chips. As we continue to work on the development of 3-D printed chips, the improvement of our current photolithography-based devices has become a priority. The current issues we have encountered are mainlyContinue reading “Incremental Improvement in Experimental Design”
Extracting Cellulose: It’s All in the Details
I have split up my project into three portions: extraction of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs)from the algae, studying the nanofibers under different observation methods, and finally applying these nanofibers to the pervious concrete. After I more deeply explored the process of extracting these cellulose nanofibers with faculty, I realized that there is no prior research specificallyContinue reading “Extracting Cellulose: It’s All in the Details”
Update on the 2024 FSU iGEM Team
This post was initially published on MEBO Blog: Systemic Malodor Disorders Research. Hello MEBO Community, Our names are Megan Perusse and Lucas Bonassi, we are third year undergraduate students at Florida State University, and we are the co-leads for the 2024 FSU iGEM team. We just wanted to reach out and update the community onContinue reading “Update on the 2024 FSU iGEM Team”
