Angela Ayers has been named assistant vice president for Research Communications at Georgia Tech. She brings nearly two decades of Georgia Tech marketing and communications experience to her new appointment and previously served as director of Research Communications Services. She has been managing the Research Communications team on a temporary…
Major technology advances such as the development of hypersonic vehicles – and less dramatic enhancements to existing systems – require overcoming a multitude of complex and costly challenges, many of them interconnected. That requires making strategic decisions on where limited research and development resources should be invested to provide…
A small spacecraft assembled and tested at the Georgia Institute of Technology is on its way to the moon, where it will use lasers to search for surface water ice in lunar craters that are never warmed by light from the sun. The briefcase-sized Lunar Flashlight will be monitored and controlled over the next several months by a team of graduate…
Using 5G network technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and edge computing resources, a pilot project under development at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island will create an optimized refueling system designed to boost readiness for military aircraft operating there – and those stopping for fuel on their way to other locations. Getting fuel to…
A weather radar system purchased by the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia could lead to improved weather forecasting in North Georgia – and provide both expanded educational opportunities for students and enhanced research capabilities for the two institutions. “The radar would be used collaboratively to provide…
The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have announced a new collaboration focused on critical infrastructure cybersecurity innovation through the launch of a joint institute, the Institute for Cybersecurity and Resilient Infrastructure Studies (ICARIS). The goal of the institute is…
Cats always land on their feet, but what makes them so agile? Their unique sense of balance has more in common with humans than it may appear. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are studying cat locomotion to better understand how the spinal cord works to help humans with partial spinal cord damage walk and maintain balance. Using…
Georgia Tech Receives $65 Million Grant from Semiconductor Research Corporation for JUMP 2.0 Centers
Intelligent machines and AI characters that can interact seamlessly and intimately with human beings will have wide-ranging effects on society – in healthcare, search and rescue, business and defense, and even recreation. The technology is not very far off, and a massive national effort, led in part by Georgia Tech researchers, is charting the…
Georgia Tech’s School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is a leader in the field of chemical and biomolecular engineering. Its mission is to create a better future by transforming people, ideas, processes and products through research and innovations that will transform the lives of its students and generate…
Though it is a cornerstone of virtually every process that occurs in living organisms, the proper folding and transport of biological proteins is a notoriously difficult and time-consuming process to experimentally study. In a new paper published in eLife, researchers in the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Computer Science have…
