Metallic materials used in engineering must be strong and ductile – capable of carrying high mechanical loads while able to withstand deformation without breaking. Whether a material is weak or strong, ductile or brittle, however, is not determined simply by the crystal grains that make up the material, but rather by what happens in the…
Air Force veteran, chief scientist, and academic are just three of the many impressive titles included in GTRI Senior Research Engineer Anne Clark's curriculum vitae. But during Women's History Month this March, Clark has one message for aspiring female leaders across the globe: Be yourself. "One of the things I would tell young women is don't…
The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) solves the most pressing national security problems, from spacecraft innovations to artificial forensics, and has historically sought to partner with Georgia Tech faculty to enhance those solutions. Seeking to further enhance the benefit of research collaborations with academic faculty, last year…
Salt marshes cover much of the state of Georgia’s coast and perform key "ecosystem services” for people. They clean the water, protect coastlines against storm surges, and provide a habitat for fish and shellfish. A new study finds that a species of grass that dominates those marshes has bacteria in its roots and surrounding soil that affects…
Through an innovative collaboration with Cisco, the global leader in networking for the internet, the Georgia Institute of Technology is pursuing 30 quick-turn research projects that touch on key priority areas such as internet for the future, capabilities at the edge, and optimized application experiences. The master research agreement builds on…
Meet Maryam Saeedifard, associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and faculty council member at the Strategic Energy Institute (SEI). SEI is one of Georgia Tech's 10 interdisciplinary research institutes (IRIs) within the Georgia Tech Research enterprise. What is your field of expertise and why did you choose…
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) inhibitors have transformed the treatment of cancer and have become the frontline therapy for a broad range of malignancies. It’s because they work better than the previous standard of care. Still, less than 25% of patients benefit from these drugs, which are designed to block proteins that stop the immune system…
Bilal Haider is studying how multiple areas of the brain work together for visual perception. This could help researchers understand if neural activity “traffic jams” underlie all kinds of visual impairments: from running a red light when visual attention is elsewhere, to shedding light on the autism-affected brain. To do this kind of work…
An interdisciplinary team led by Omer Inan, associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Georgia Institute of Technology, including collaborators from Emory University, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (Children's), and the Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI), has won the Presidents’ Award of…
