This spring, FIU brought together leaders from academia, government, and industry to address the evolving challenges of higher education as part of Horizon Summit 2026 hosted at Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)
At the Summit, we presented our collaborative work with the Institute of Environment (IOE) on robotically 3D-printed living shorelines project focused on coastal resilience.
