Years after cancer surgery, many patients’ lymphatic systems start to fail. They can experience swelling and fluid retention, a condition known as lymphedema that has no cure. But researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are working to understand the lymph system through a partnership with the Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI…

Her research focuses on theoretical, computational, plasma, nuclear, and high energy…
On Saturday, May 7, volunteers from the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) showed the local community just how fun science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can be. In their daily lives, GTRI’s renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems. Equipped with…
Threat reaction training of aircrews is a critical factor in protecting aircraft and crews from ground-based missiles and other weapons. To help provide this training, GTRI researchers are working with the 189th Airlift Wing (AW) of the Arkansas National Guard to develop a high-fidelity immersive multi-player simulation of the battle…
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing a wideband four-channel millimeter wave transmit-receive (T/R) module based on silicon-germanium (SiGe) technology that will support active electronically-scanned arrays (AESA) for potential military applications. Designed to operate between 18 GHz and 50 GHz, the module could help…
A recent study published by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and Northwestern University examines the relationship between childhood psychological maltreatment and adulthood work-family conflict. The study, available online in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, suggests that this childhood maltreatment is associated with…
When people think about the game capture the flag, memories of gym class or family trips likely come to mind. The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is participating in a slightly different version of this childhood favorite, where teams face off against opponents across the world to tackle real-world cybersecurity issues. GTRI's…
Using artificial intelligence (AI) for warfare has been the promise of science fiction and politicians for years, but new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology argues only so much can be automated and shows the value of human judgment. “All of the hard problems in AI really are judgment and data problems, and the interesting thing…
Replacing the potent greenhouse gas SF6 in high-voltage circuit breakers with a clean alternative is critical as the U.S. looks to upgrade its aging electrical infrastructure. Although well-known greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane contribute the most emissions, it is a lesser-known greenhouse gas,…
To help support the growth of startups and individuals working to advance automation and robotics, Amazon Robotics today announced it is providing a substantial investment over three years to the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC). ATDC is Georgia’s technology startup…
