Georgia Tech faculty members also will collaborate on five other projects as part of the $5 billion effort to use AI to transform scientific discovery in health, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and national security. 

Georgia Tech raised a historic $415 million in fiscal year 2026 to fuel scholarships, academic excellence, and major capital projects across the Institute, including the new home of the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering and a landmark $100 million estate gift for the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering.

Collaborating with industry gives companies access to world‑class expertise and new ideas. For students and faculty, it’s a direct line to the challenges defining real‑world engineering.

An ME and CSE team developed a more efficient machine learning method to train robotic controllers, deploying it on a two-legged robot that successfully navigated gravel, grass, hills, and more.

Meghna Iyer came to Georgia Tech trying to understand her mother’s illness. What she discovered is changing how scientists connect three neurodegenerative diseases.

Environmental engineer Katherine Graham is developing new methods to pinpoint pathogens in water to help local agencies make rivers and reservoirs cleaner. 

The Georgia Tech Alumni Association’s 40 Under 40 Class of 2026 includes 26 engineering alumni. They are furthering space exploration, improving healthcare, educating future engineers, and more.

Kumar will build predictive models to study how composite materials fail based on their internal structure, with the long-term goal of designing stronger and more fracture-resistant materials.  

AE's Toshi Hirabayashi helped select the target asteroid and developed the spacecraft's final orientation and trajectory for the encounter.

A new Department of Energy award will help Georgia Tech lead a regional effort to identify, recover, and reuse materials essential to energy, manufacturing, and national security.

An existing membrane material can separate crude oil in a way researchers didn't expect. Using membranes before distilling the oil could significantly reduce the energy, water, and carbon footprint of petroleum refining.

BME's Alexander Vlahos will work to engineer cells that can actively reshape their local environment to make it more hospitable after they're transplanted under the skin.

Researchers have turned pilot-to-pilot radio calls around airports with no control tower into data that drone aircraft can use to steer clear of other planes.

The ME researcher will use supercomputers and an exascale simulation framework his team developed to advance understanding of gas-liquid flows, which are common in nature and critical engineering systems but remain notoriously difficult to predict.

The initiative brings the Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory’s years of expertise in advanced modeling for aerospace systems to the problem of people and vehicular traffic.

ECE's Matthew Flavin turns foot pressure into patterns of heat and vibration on the forearms to help stroke and spinal cord injury patients with balance and walking.

Electrical and computer engineers explain some of the newest and most crucial technology required for a seamless, safe, enjoyable World Cup in Atlanta and across North America.

Pan’s project will combine monitoring, ground and satellite data, computer models, and machine learning to develop a more complete picture of where and how nitrogen enters the atmosphere from agricultural and industrial sources.

CEE researchers can extract rare earth elements from coal fly ash without the corrosive chemicals used in conventional processes.
