 Wednesday, May 20, 9:00am-10:00am | John and Joyce Caddell Building & Teams

 

We are pleased to announce the initiation of the search for the next executive director of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM), who is expected to start early in 2027. The search will be chaired by Professor David Sherrill from the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and supported by the office of the Vice President for Interdisciplinary Research (VPIR). 

To inform the Georgia Tech community about the search process and to answer questions, as well as to receive feedback about the search and what people wish to see in a future executive director, we have scheduled a town hall meeting to which all IRIM personnel, affiliated faculty, students, and all of the GT community are welcome. The town hall meeting will be hosted by David Sherrill and Julia Kubanek, and several members of the search committee will be present for this hybrid event. It will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 9:00am-10:00am, both in person in the flex space in the John and Joyce Caddell Building and virtually on Microsoft Teams.
