Florida State University has recognized eight outstanding faculty members with the Developing Scholar Award, which recognizes associate professors’ research and creative contributions. FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and FSU faculty member Hadi Mohammadigoushki, in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, was one of the 2024 awardees.

The recognition comes with a one-time award of $10,000 to be used to promote the awardee’s research and creativity program during the academic year after the award’s presentation.

“We have tremendous faculty scholars at Florida State University,” said Vice President for Research Stacey S. Patterson. “It is a privilege to recognize these eight associate professors for their hard work and dedication to their respective fields and for their excellent contributions in a relatively short time. We look forward to supporting their bright futures at FSU.”

Mohammadigoushki’s research revolves around flow and dynamics of complex fluids. Complex fluids are ubiquitous in both nature and industry. These systems are widely found in applications such as oil-gas, pulp and paper, food, adhesives, detergents, cosmetics and protein gels. His research group’s primary goal is to discover new phenomena in complex fluids and to investigate the connection between molecular properties and processing conditions of complex fluids. Mohammadigoushki joined FSU in 2016 after completing his doctorate at the University of British Columbia and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley. He received the NSF CAREER award in 2020 and has also obtained research funding from the National Institutes of Health, DARPA, the State of Florida and Colgate-Palmolive.
