Mo Jarin, a doctoral student in Georgia Tech’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering has won the Career, Research, and Innovation Development Conference’s Innovation Competition for her VoltaPure water disinfection technology. Jarin, who is pursuing her degree in environmental health engineering, earned a $1,000 cash prize…
Two assistant professors in the College of Sciences have just joined the ranks of Georgia Tech early career scientists selected to receive prestigious Sloan Research Fellowships. Hannah Choi of the School of Mathematics and Henry S. “Pete” La Pierre of the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry are among 118 early…
The Georgia Institute of Technology has been selected as the in-depth cell characterization platform hub for the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) Regenerative Medicine Innovation Project (RMIP). Established under the 21st Century Cures Act, the main goal of the $30 million RMIP is the development of transformative new therapies based on adult…
Clio Andris and her team use maps to study how relationships are situated in cities: whether people live near each other, whether it is easy for them to see each other, and what kinds of activities and amenities they can easily access. She recently realized city layouts (where the buildings are, how public transportation works, even where…
Suman Datta, one of the nation’s top researchers in semiconductor and nanoelectronic device research, is joining Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) as Joseph M. Pettit Chair and a Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) Eminent Scholar. He will also have a joint appointment with the School of Materials Science and…
Three Georgia Tech faculty members are among the newest members of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Christopher Jones, Sandra Magnus, and Nick Sahinidis have been elected to the NAE, one of the highest professional distinctions awarded to an engineer. In addition to the three faculty members, two additional alumni were honored. Nick…
Sustainable management of natural resources like water is critical as communities grow - particularly in California, the most populous state in the U.S. where droughts are extremely common. Surface water, such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands, typically fills most of the state’s needs, while groundwater, such as subterranean aquifers and…
James Dahlman and Phil Santangelo are helping to define an evolving era in medicine, one in which messenger ribonucleic acid — mRNA — can be delivered directly to cells to fight against disease. And their latest groundbreaking study could clear the way to faster therapeutic discoveries. Long before the Covid-19 pandemic put a global spotlight on…
Covid-19 is often asymptomatic and can lead infected individuals to spread the disease without knowing it. Yet, regular surveillance testing of a community can catch these cases and prevent outbreaks. In early 2020, Georgia Tech researchers designed a saliva-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and encouraged community members to test…
Can you crumple up two sheets of paper the exact same way? Probably not — the very flexibility that lets flexible structures from paper to biopolymers and membranes undergo many types of large deformations makes them notoriously difficult to control. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Universiteit van Amsterdam, and Universiteit…
