Research at Florida Poly is improving lives and changing businesses, with impact ranging
from the local Lakeland community to the outer-reaches of space. Students and professors
are shaping the future with research like:
Creating new tools to detect radiation and protect lives
Discovering breakthrough methods to monitor health signals for unborn babies
Preparing for the future of driverless vehicles and autonomous transportation
Improving mental and physical health outcomes for astronauts
Harnessing the power of lake algae for space travel
Developing protections again cyber crime

method that they hope will save lives through more accurate fetal and maternal electro-cardiogram
signals.
Innovation Starts Here
Our students and faculty members are always up to something new and have many research
opportunities through our research centers.
There are a bunch of research opportunities here. Everywhere you turn, it seems like
every professor has research they could always use some help with.

Engineering Masters
One of those research opportunities enabled Jones to work on a project to create a
type of vending machine with the food from the smart gardens on campus. Its purpose
would be to keep the food fresh so that people who are less fortunate can get access
to it.
