Michael “Mischa” Steurer, Ph.D. received the prestigious Solberg Award from the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) for his contributions to naval engineering.

At CAPS, researchers like electrical and computer engineering chair Sastry Pamidi, Ph.D. and Peter Cheetham, Ph.D. provide undergraduate students quality research and other experimental learning opportunities with hands-on activities that complement what is taught in the classroom.

CAPS is renowned in the electrical engineering research sector and provides a rich environment for the engineering faculty, graduate and undergraduate researchers, and industry-related users of the facility.

Helen Li is focused on bridging the world’s solar energy capacity with its conventional energy needs through new photovoltaic converters and other novel electric technologies.

Now, as director of Florida State’s Center for Advanced Power Systems, he’s captaining a different kind of ship. In his role, McGinnis oversees 35 faculty and staff, plus 55 graduate and undergraduate students, who are working on a variety of projects ranging from helping the Navy build an all-electric ship to creating sophisticated electrical testing technologies. “I knew of CAPS from my work in the Navy and was really excited about the work they were doing,” McGinnis said. “When a colleague suggested I apply for the opening, it seemed too good to pass up.”

Gian Carlo Montanari, an internationally known engineering researcher, is joining the Center for Advanced Power Systems.

The Florida Inventors Hall of Fame has announced its 2019 class of eight inventors to be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sep. 20, 2019, at a ceremony in Tampa.

Mischa Steurer will receive the Solberg Award from the American Society of Naval Engineers for significant contributions to naval engineering.

Undergraduate students across the country often get the chance to help a favorite professor with research. But few get the experience that Taylor Stamm had while working at CAPS.

CAPS and the Colorado-based Advanced Conductor Technologies LLC are taking a big step in the world of superconductor technology that could have major implications for naval, aviation and power grid applications.
