This year, the Novelis Scholars program review committee at the Georgia Institute of Technology selected seven graduate scholars and four undergraduate scholars. This is the second year of the Novelis scholars program.
The Novelis Innovation Hub at Georgia Tech launched the Novelis Scholars program in 2021. The program seeks to recognize and cultivate top graduate students conducting research in various aspects of sustainability, high-throughput materials discovery, surface functionalization, and artificial intelligence (AI)/data science applications in materials, manufacturing, and supply chain technology.
Novelis has partnered with Georgia Tech to collaborate on research and development, and promote the education of the next generation of engineers dedicated to making better products that lead to a more sustainable world. Novelis is headquartered in Atlanta with a global footprint, over 12,500 employees, and recorded $17.1 billion in net sales for its 2022 fiscal year. Novelis expanded its research partnership with Georgia Tech in 2021.
