Television shows like “CSI” and “Law and Order” have popularized crime investigations. For dramatic reasons, popular-culture portrayals of forensic analysis may not always be accurate. We spoke with three Georgia Tech alumni now working at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) to get a real-world sense of working in a crime lab.
The National Institutes of Health has awarded a $2.5 M grant over five years to advance the clinical potential of bacteria-killing viruses to treat antibiotic-resistant infections. Joshua Weitz of the School of Biological Sciences and Justin Debarbieux of Institut Pasteur will lead teams in the U.S. and France to research the interaction between bacteriophage, bacteria, and the innate immune response to enable use of phage therapy even with patients with impaired immune systems.
School of Mathematics Professor Mohammad Ghomi and Joel Spruck of Johns Hopkins University recently posted ArXiv their proposed solution tothe Cartan-Hadamard Conjecture, a long-standing problem in Analysis and Geometry.
We all know about the periodic table in some capacity. For scientists, it is a widely-accepted arrangement of chemical elements organized by trends and properties. For others, it’s mostly a colorful reminder of high school classrooms and chemistry textbooks. But have you ever considered trying to use the periodic table as an organizing principle?

To walk or run with finesse, roaches and robots coordinate leg movements via signals sent through centralized systems -- but utterly divergent ones. Despite their seemingly unbridgeable differences, researchers have devised handy principles and equations from studying roaches to assess how both beasts and bots locomote and to improve robotic gait.
School of Mathematics Professor Haomin Zhou is a recipient of the 2019 Feng Kang Prize.
