FIU ARC

@FIU @FIU_ARC STEM DOE Fellows students and staff meet U.S. Department of @Energy (DOE) office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) Leadership at @WMSymposia #WMSym2026 #DOEFellow #STEM

@FIU_ARC @FIU is heading to 2026 @WMSymposia in Phoenix (March 8–12)! Through our @ENERGY DOE–FIU workforce pipeline, we’re preparing engineers and scientists to advance environmental cleanup, nuclear waste management, #robotics, IT, and #AI solutions. #WMSym2026 #DOEFellow #STEM

Spot robot, enhanced with sensors by @FIU @FIU_ARC, was featured on @WPLGLocal10 during a demo at MIA @iflymia. Working alongside a K-9 unit, the team showcased FIU’s research on machine olfaction tech to detect explosives & narcotics. local10.com/tech/2026/02/1…

@FIU Environmental Health and Safety proudly recognized Dr. Amer Awwad, Ph.D., P.E. as the EH&S Safety Shout Out! Dr. Awwad serves as a Sr. Research Scientist for the @FIU_ARC within the FIU Engineering Center. ehs.fiu.edu/index.html

Former #DOEFellow Reaching for the Stars. @FIU_ARC is extremely proud of the amazing accomplishments of our former DOE Fellow, Denisse Aranda. Denisse helped send Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket into space! fellows.fiu.edu/former-doe-fel…

Last week, a group of @BrowardCollege students visited the @FIU_ARC's Robotics and AI Labs. #DOEFellows and graduate students, led by Dr. Leonel “Leo” Lagos @leolagos1225, showcased the cutting-edge robotic @ AI technologies being developed at the center.

On 10/29, @FIU_ARC will host a #TechTalk from Dr. Larry Deschaine from the Classical & Quantum AI/ML & Optimization team @SRNLab on 8 practical #quantum #AI computing applications developed at SRNL showing real quantum advantages in diverse problem domains dndkm.org/TechTalk/

Congratulations to @FIU_ARC's Mellissa Komninakis on successfully defending her PhD dissertation! Dr. Komninakis’ research work was focused on quantifying the positive impacts of fixative technologies in reducing airborne release fractions of contaminants under impact stressors.

@FIU_ARC proudly celebrates Mellissa Komninakis on publishing her second peer-reviewed manuscript in Nuclear Engineering and Technology titled “Quantifying the Effectiveness of Fixative Coatings in Reducing Airborne Release Fractions Under Impact Stress.” lnkd.in/eqiHpdQv

@FIU has signed an MOU with @SRNSolutions to boost student opportunities and support @ENERGY missions. The partnership will expand internships, research, and career pathways in engineering, science & more. arc.fiu.edu/news/fiu-and-s… #FIUResearch #STEM #DOE

Joseph Sinicrope Mentors Future Engineers at the Intersection of Policy and Innovation through Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE) Program, sponsored by @ASTMIntl and @IEEEorg.

@FIU strengthens partnership with SRS to Advance the @ENERGY DOE Environmental Restoration mission at Savannah River Site. arc.fiu.edu/news/srs-and-f…

#MemorialDay2025 #MemorialDay

Five (5) technical papers presented in March 2025 at @WMSymposia #WMSym2025 by researchers at @FIU @FIU_ARC have received special recognition as “Superior” papers. Congratulations to all!!! arc.fiu.edu/news/fiu-resea…

Dr. Awwad & Dr. Azizinamini from @FIU_ARC & @FIU_CEC won a 2nd patent for tech that quickly assesses concrete durability without core sampling, honored at FIU's Faculty Excellence Award on Apr 17, 2025! #FIUResearch issuu.com/fiupublication…

🌍 This #EarthDay, FIU robots are restoring nuclear sites & protecting Biscayne Bay. Innovation in action — for a cleaner, safer Earth. Read more: news.fiu.edu/2025/tech-to-p… 🤖💧 #FIUresearch #RoboticsForThePlanet

Join us on 4/22, @FIU_ARC will feature a Tech Talk from Steven Valle, a Research Scientist at @FIU, titled “Next-Generation Knowledge Management: Developing Agent-Driven Systems for Enhanced User Interaction”. dndkm.org/TechTalk/

Dr. @leolagos1225 (PI for the @ENERGY - @FIU Cooperative Agreement) and the #FIU team had the opportunity to showcase FIU's #robotics technologies being developed to support the U.S. Dept. of @ENERGY Office of Environmental Management clean up mission. facebook.com/share/p/1EYWuk…

#Robots to the rescue! @FIU_ARC is using cutting-edge robotic tech to help clean up America's nuclear legacy. Featured on the cover of the 2025 @FIU Magazine, these robots are making a big impact in environmental resilience go.fiu.edu/FIUARCRobotsTo… #Innovation #NuclearCleanup #FIU
