In a new paper published in eLife, School of Biological Sciences and School of Computer Science researchers show how AF2Complex, a deep learning tool designed to predict the physical interactions of proteins, is lending new insights into protein synthesis and transport — and paving the way to computationally expedite biology research as a whole.
Regents’ Professor Walter de Heer has taken a critical step in the case for a successor to silicon, working with collaborators to develop a new nanoelectronics platform based on graphene — a single sheet of carbon atoms. The technology is compatible with conventional microelectronics manufacturing, and the new research, published in Nature Communications, shows the team may have also discovered a new quasiparticle.
School of Mathematics Professor Rachel Kuske has been named board chair for Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) at Brown University, strengthening a long-standing partnership between Georgia Tech and a top mathematics lab for numbers-crunching researchers.
Annual research spending enables medical breakthroughs, space exploration, and scientific innovation across multiple disciplines
The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) recently awarded Georgia Tech Bioinformatics Graduate Program Ph.D. student Breanna Shi the Advanced Graduate Ambassadorship from their Women and Mathematics program. As part of this award, Shi will organize a workshop to address equity by using her math background to help other underrepresented graduate students across Georgia Tech’s College of Sciences learn and apply math and computational methods in their research.
Svetlana Jitomirskaya, Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Irvine, and a prize-winning mathematician, joins Georgia Tech as the inaugural Hubbard Chair Professor in the School of Mathematics. She is among more than 20 new mathematics faculty members for the 2022-2023 school year.
