The Georgia Institute of Technology is announcing its intention to launch a new academic unit dedicated to lifetime learning. Establishing a new academic unit is a long process, and Tech is at the very beginning. Dean Nelson Baker and Dean Charles Isbell are leading the effort, which currently has three working groups.
On Oct. 17, Jennifer Chirico will join Infrastructure and Sustainability (I&S) as the associate vice president of Sustainability. Originally from Atlanta, Chirico brings 20 years of sustainability experience to the Institute.
In a significant response to urgent climate-related threats, a new international center headquartered at Georgia Aquarium, endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, will support versatile, collaborative solutions to improve the health of the world’s oceans. The Ocean Visions – UN Decade Collaborative Center for Ocean-Climate Solutions (OV – UN DCC), a partnership with Ocean Visions, Georgia Aquarium, and Georgia Tech, is the only center of its kind in the United States.
A team led by Georgia Tech mathematician Anton Leykin has developed a powerful new technique for solving problems related to 3D reconstruction. The research team’s paper has also won the prestigious best paper award at CVPR 2022. The team hopes that their method — which can solve some of these problems significantly faster than any previous technique — could change how these problems are approached and solved in mathematics, computer science, and industrial applications.
Ever stare at those last few pieces of breakfast cereal and watch them seemingly clump together or cling to the side of the bowl? Scientists have dubbed it the “Cheerios effect,” the combination of forces causing those clumps. Researchers at Georgia Tech have discovered those same forces draw small numbers of ants together to begin to form water-repellent ant rafts — even though the ants seem to be uninterested in collaborating with their neighbors for survival.

A special issue of Pure and Applied Functional Analysis honors mathematician School of Mathematics Regents' Professor Leonid Bunimovich on his 75th birthday.
Bunimovich's pioneering contributions have shaped modern dynamical systems. He is best known for discovering a fundamental mechanism of chaos in dynamical systems, including systems of chaotic billiards such as the Bunimovich stadium, Bunimovich flowers, and elliptic flowers. Learn about his research in this 2023 news story: Bringing Understanding to Chaotic Dynamics with Billiards, Flowers, and ... Mushrooms?
Georgia Tech School of Mathematics March 16, 2026If you’ve walked the aisles of a grocery store, scrolled through social media, watched television, or set foot in a fast-casual restaurant chain in recent months, you know that protein is having its moment.
So, why are brands pushing protein? An International Food Information Council study found that 70% of adults are looking to increase their protein intake. But as it makes its way into more products than ever before, is it too much of a good thing?
Lesley Baradel is a registered dietitian, nutritionist, and lecturer in the College of Sciences at Georgia Tech. In this episode of "Generating Buzz", she digs into the protein-packed trend, with implications ranging from health and wellness to marketing and how the rise of GLP-1s factors into the increased focus on the macronutrient.
