Mathematicians and engineers from Georgia Tech and Carnegie Mellon discuss how network and game theories provide a different way to control the spread of infectious disease

The first Georgia Tech student to transfer into the newly created United States Space Force (USSF) is Captain Chloe Babcock. Babcock, who is earning a master’s degree in operations research (OR) from the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), is currently a Space Force Operations Officer.

Georgia Tech researchers will collaborate with TRI on two research projects: the first to advance autonomous vehicle testing and the second, to improve the way robots assist older adults with daily living tasks.

After 35 years as a faculty member in Georgia Tech’s H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), A. Russell Chandler III Chair – and now Institute Emeritus Professor – George Nemhauser has retired. Summarizing all that Nemhauser accomplished throughout his 60-year-long academic career is a near-impossible task, as he developed theory and applications that shaped and energized the field of operations research (OR).

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology has been exploring fundamental research opportunities toward enhanced imaging, diagnosis, and therapy through multiple computational and experimental tracks that will gradually converge and help the scientific community better understand how to treat and diagnose injuries and illnesses involving the skull and brain.

Sadie Wicks is a first-year NRE student from Roberta, Georgia who was drawn to the major for a variety of reasons. In this Q&A with student assistant Angel Garcia she talks about why she chose nuclear engineering, the benefits of Greek life, her involvement with professional organizations, and her passion for racing cars, which she has been doing since she was just eight years old.

A senior design team from the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering has created a tool to help Georgia Tech Capital Planning and Space Management (CPSM) prioritize and schedule projects, hoping to reduce the number of phases needed for a renovation project and potentially allow multiple buildings to be renovated at the same time. 

Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, Irvine (UCI) describe the creation of a new class of mechanical metamaterials that delocalize deformations to prevent failure.

Victoria Lynn found friendship, mentorship and more through the Clark Scholars Program.

Nivedita Bhattacharya has been chosen as a recipient of the 2021 Women in Engineering (WIE) Teaching Excellence Award. She will be recognized with this award at the annual WIE Banquet, to be held virtually on the evening of April 12. 

For aerospace engineering students Emily Ku and Catherine Liu, it’s going to be an exciting summer – they are both interning at aerospace startups as part of the 2021 Brooke Owens Fellowship Program.

In this Q&A with student assistant Angel Garcia the third year student from Tewksbury, Massachusetts talks about why she chose Georgia Tech, the process of switching majors, her internship experiences, and being part of the Goldrush Dance Team. 

If you’re looking for an indoor space with a low level of particulate air pollution, a commercial airliner flying at cruising altitude may be your best option. A newly reported study of air quality in indoor spaces such as stores, restaurants, offices, public transportation — and commercial jets — shows aircraft cabins with the lowest levels of tiny aerosol particles.

For demonstrating outstanding scholarship, leadership. and service at Georgia Institute of Technology, undergraduate student Hannah Huang has won the 2021 Helen Grenga Outstanding Woman Engineer Award from the Women in Engineering (WIE) program at Georgia Tech.

Miguel Gonzalez has co-founded a company that is creating at-home, saliva-based testing for Covid-19 and other infectious diseases.
