The growing demand for renewable energy provides many exciting opportunities. Our group aims to conduct cutting-edge research in renewable energy, focusing on wind energy. Another key research area of the group is wind engineering. Extreme loading caused by hurricanes requires stronger structures. Wind loading also causes vibration problems that need to be solved.
We invite you to explore our webpage. If you have any questions, please contact the director Prof. Sungmoon Jung (sjung@eng.fsu.edu, 850-410-6386).
Many interesting research opportunities exist in our laboratory. Availability of the funding changes from time to time, so please contact Dr. Jung for details. Funded projects usually have pre-defined deliverables, and therefore, preference will be given to students who have research experience in a related topic. Self-sponsored students with external fellowships are also welcomed to join our laboratory. They would have much greater freedom to explore any topics of their choice.
The laboratory is located at the joint college of engineering by Florida A&M University and Florida State University. A student may apply to (and get a degree from) one of the two universities that he or she prefers. The college of engineering is located at Tallahassee, Florida. The city offers great weather and easy access to many attractive places.
