Learn about four undergrad researchers serving as catalysts for innovation and development in their respective fields — and representing Georgia Tech’s mission in developing leadership and improving the human condition.

Georgia Tech points to what’s next, and how the Institute will contribute. “Discovering life beyond Earth would fundamentally change humanity’s perspective on our place in the universe,” says Earth and Atmospheric Sciences' Jennifer Glass. “Integrating astrobiology – the search of life in the universe – into space missions in order to know if and when we detect life on other planetary bodies, including exoplanets, is an exciting challenge currently underway.”

The College of Sciences is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Wolf as the new chair of the School of Mathematics, effective summer 2022. His three-decade tenure at Rice University has stretched through mathematics research and education, to diversity and equity, undergraduate admissions and life, to strategy and development.

Prof. Dan Margalit will give an invited lecture at the AMS Special Session AMS Maryam Mirzakhani Lecture at the Joint Math Meetings (JMM) in Seattle, in January 2022.

School of Physics graduate students and undergraduates analyze new data on ‘wonderful diversity’ of black holes and neutron stars for catalog of gravitational wave events.

“I don’t think most people are aware of wildlife on campus,” shares Emily Weigel, senior academic professional in the School of Biological Sciences. Atlanta is often called the “city in a forest” because of its lush canopy of trees, uncommon for a major city. In the heart of that forest sits Georgia Tech’s 400-acre campus. And within campus lies a variety of wildlife that's made Georgia Tech its home.

Satellite counselor Tara Holdampf will provide confidential consultations and support for students, virtually and from the Molecular Science and Engineering Building.

It was a necessary skill for early humans: how to make tools out of rocks. It's a demanding skill to learn, yet it's helping Georgia Tech researchers fill in the gaps when it comes to the science of how we learn complex motor skills — and what may be required to relearn them. 

Equipment purchased with Tech Fees make a huge difference in putting sophisticated instrumentation into Georgia Tech's teaching labs, say College of Sciences administrators, giving undergraduates experiences that are beyond those typically found at other institutions of higher learning.

During International Education Week, the College of Sciences celebrates the impact of international perspectives, connection, and contributions in our community. 

A recent study from the School of Psychology puts a spotlight on how leadership opportunities in early careers can affect workers, with gender differences apparent and implications for the current pandemic-related "Great Resignation" trend in U.S. workplaces.
