BBISS Welcomes Seven New Faculty Fellows

The Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS) is proud to welcome seven newly appointed faculty fellows. These distinguished faculty members will not only receive support for their innovative research and areas of expertise but also take on key leadership roles within BBISS. As fellows, they serve as strategic advisors, help cultivate a vibrant community of sustainability-focused scholars and students across Georgia Tech, and champion the Institute’s mission, values, and goals to broader audiences.

“The Fellows bring diverse expertise and unique perspectives that enrich our academic community,” says BBISS Executive Director Beril Toktay. “Their interdisciplinary backgrounds create valuable opportunities for collaboration that strengthens our sustainability initiatives and expands the Institute's impact.”
