This graduation season, Florida International University (FIU) announced that over 5,500 graduates received their degrees. The College of Engineering and Computing highlighted journeys from concept to innovation and impact.
In 2025, FIU celebrated the awarding of its 400,000th degree.
One notable graduate identified a long-standing problem in the industry, saving millions of dollars that were lost each year due to evaporation.
This new graduate developed a solution that transformed evaporation into extra product on the shelf by applying skills learned in FIU’s engineering management program.
Jeremy developed a patented technology that conserves liquids and increases yields, earning awards and supporting industry leaders worldwide.
The 2025 Outstanding Graduate for the Spring Commencement was a student who earned a Ph.D. in Materials Engineering.
He made significant contributions to space materials research by developing multifunctional coatings for lunar structural components.
His work, tested on the International Space Station and at NASA facilities, enhances the durability of materials in extreme lunar environments.
With 20 publications, three patents, and a NASA TRL-7 achievement, he has substantially advanced space coating technologies that will benefit future Artemis and Human Landing System (HLS) missions.
Currently, he has two job offers in the aerospace and energy industries and is working as a materials scientist.
His expertise in advanced coatings for extreme environments has made him a highly sought-after candidate, allowing him to contribute to cutting-edge research and development in high-performance materials for space exploration and energy applications.
