Chairwoman Lisa Cupid and Commissioner Jerica Richardson share their journey, from growing as undergraduate students at Tech to breaking glass ceilings in local government

All Schools remain in the top 10, according to U.S. News & World Report

Breaking the glass ceiling isn’t just for high-profile political figures. At Georgia Tech, we have women who are making new strides in a wide range of male-dominated fields, at all levels. In celebration of Women’s History Month, we have asked a few of them to share their journeys and achievements, along with their advice for other women who hope to one day lead at Georgia Tech and in the broader community.

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.
