The Summit will be held at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia from 4-6 April 2023 and offers online attendance options. Ocean Visions welcomes a diversity of solutions-oriented participants, including scientists, academics, policymakers, entrepreneurs, those with indigenous knowledge of oceans and solutions, innovators, and funders.
Georgia Trend 2023 Influential Georgians
Georgia Tech alumni are being recognized for work in their communities in Georgia Trend’s Most Influential Georgians for 2023.
Analyzing the Climate Change Deal
Georgia Tech strives to be a leader in climate action across the Institute’s operational, educational, research, and economic development missions. As such, a process is underway to leverage this knowledge and develop a comprehensive, cross-cutting Climate Action Plan.

Schematic of a cat musculoskeletal model
Cats always land on their feet, but what makes them so agile? Their unique sense of balance has more in common with humans than it may appear. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are studying cat locomotion to better understand how the spinal cord works to help humans with partial spinal cord damage walk and maintain balance.
As we transition to a new year, researchers across the globe are looking ahead to the world’s most pressing concerns. Georgia Tech researchers share what they will be watching during the next 12 months and beyond.
As we kick off a new year, experts at Georgia Tech are working to understand how some of the world's most pressing concerns will play out over the next 12 months. Hear from six young, pioneering Georgia Tech researchers who are tackling some of the world’s most complicated issues and working on solutions — ranging from feeding an ever-growing population to controlling wheelchairs via wireless brain wave patches.

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.
Graphene chip on fingertip
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. 
Rachel Kuske
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.
