The science of human decision-making is only just being applied to machine learning, but developing a neural network even closer to the actual human brain may make it more reliable.

Sherrill holds joint appointments with the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the School of Computational Science and Engineering. He also serves as associate director of the Institute for Data Engineering Science.

A groundbreaking new study published in Nature Physics has revealed that geometry influences biofilm growth more than anything else, including the rate at which cells can reproduce. The research shows that the fitness of a biofilm is largely impacted by the contact angle that the biofilm’s edge makes with the substrate.

College of Sciences faculty Linda Green and Mary Peek were recently awarded Innovation Incubator grants to advance experiential learning in their courses. Peek's initiative in the Biochemistry Laboratory II class will enable students to engage in hands-on research, while Green's Urban Ecology students will focus on studying the impact of green infrastructure in urban settings.

College of Sciences Academic Professional Christina Ragan is among the recipients of the 2024 Academic Success and Advising (ASA) Awards.

College of Sciences graduate Anisha Kanukolanu is among the Georgia Tech students and alumni who have received a Fulbright U.S. Student Program award to study/conduct research.

The team used experiments and simulations to quantify and predict how knit fabric response can be programmed. By establishing a mathematical theory of knitted materials, the researchers hope that knitting — and textiles in general — can be incorporated into more engineering and manufacturing applications.

School of Mathematics Adjunct Professor Dana Randall, a leading authority in the field of mathematics, recently delivered a Congressional briefing on the crucial connections between mathematics and national priorities.

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and the Office of Academic Effectiveness (OAE) are thrilled to announce the Spring 2024 Course Instructor Opinion Survey (CIOS) Honor Roll. Faculty members at Georgia Tech who made the Spring 2024 Honor Roll have been celebrated by their students for outstanding teaching and educational impact. 

The award recognizes “honors a scientist or clinician who has made a significant and unique contribution to the field of cardiac pacing and electrophysiology," and recognizes Fenton's groundbreaking research, which uses physics to better understand how the heart functions — or malfunctions, in the case of arrhythmias.

273 academic and research faculty members from across the Institute received promotions during the spring semester. We are thankful for their contributions and honored to celebrate their accomplishments.

With NSF support, Colleges of Sciences and Engineering will collaborate to hire a researcher focused on solar-terrestrial science and space weather.
