Arts, Expression, and Creative Technologies
Using advanced technology to enhance creative processes, artistic expression, and innovation. Through our research, IPaT is merging physical and digital worlds with innovative creative ideas. The creative uses of technology are endless. We seek to identify, nurture, and grow creative and artistic ideas which may unlock new processes, inspire practical solutions with outside the box thinking, or simply lead to new forms of art expression.

Featured Projects
AtlanticWave SDX
Researchers: Russ Clark, Co-Director, Research Network Operations Center Sean Donovan, Research Scientist, Research Network Operations Center Researchers at Georgia Tech and Florida International University (FIU) have launched the AtlanticWave SDX project to develop a network controller that will prioritize and route large amounts of data on research and education networks without slowing down the internet for everyone else.
Convergence Innovation Competition
The Convergence Innovation Competition, also known as the CIC is a bi-annual event dedicated to helping students create innovative and viable products and experiences with the support of campus resources and industry guidance.
Medicaid Claims Data
Researcher: Nicoleta Serban, Professor, School of Industrial and Systems Engineering The Institute for People and Technology, H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta have provided funding for and access to multiple years of Medicaid data to support a deeper understanding of the challenges and patterns surrounding healthcare access.
Smart Sea Level Sensors
Researchers: (See the Sea Level Sensors website for complete list) The Smart Sea Level Sensors project is a partnership between Chatham Emergency Management Agency officials, City of Savannah officials, and Georgia Tech scientists and engineers who are working together to install a network of internet-enabled sea level sensors across Chatham County. The real-time data on coastal flooding will be used for emergency planning and response.
