A robot operating with a popular internet-based artificial intelligence system consistently gravitates to men over women, white people over people of color, and jumps to conclusions about peoples' jobs after a glance at their face. The work, led by Johns Hopkins University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of Washington…
A spiral wave of electrical activity in the heart can cause catastrophic consequences. One spiral wave creates tachycardia — a heart rate that’s too fast — and multiple spirals cause a state of disorganized contraction known as fibrillation. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology offer a new method to disrupt spiral waves that uses…
About half of the cancer patients who receive chemotherapy are treated with drugs made from platinum-based compounds, or PBCs. That’s because these drugs have demonstrated real success in improving cancer survival rates. However, there’s a downside – off-target side effects, neurotoxicity being among the more prevalent and significant. Pain…
Cybersecurity improvements developed by the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) in collaboration with the U.S. Navy could soon help bolster protection for the Automated Identification System (AIS), which is used to track and identify commercial and military ships around the world. AIS uses signals from transponders operating on the…
The Institute for People and Technology, or IPaT, is one of Georgia Tech’s 10 interdisciplinary research institutes (IRIs). It brings together researchers from across Georgia Tech to support world-class research, engage students, and collaborate with industry, government, and nonprofit partners. Its goal: Maximize…
Years after cancer surgery, many patients’ lymphatic systems start to fail. They can experience swelling and fluid retention, a condition known as lymphedema that has no cure. But researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are working to understand the lymph system through a partnership with the Global Center for Medical Innovation (GCMI…

A recent study published by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and Northwestern University examines the relationship between childhood psychological maltreatment and adulthood work-family conflict. The study, available online in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, suggests that this childhood maltreatment is associated with…
When people think about the game capture the flag, memories of gym class or family trips likely come to mind. The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is participating in a slightly different version of this childhood favorite, where teams face off against opponents across the world to tackle real-world cybersecurity issues. GTRI's…
