To achieve better training outcomes with faster deployment results, Fukang Liu and Feiyang Wu, graduate students under Professor Ye Zhao from the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and faculty member of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines, have published a duo of papers in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters. This is a collaborative work with three other IRIM affiliated faculties, Profs. Danfei Xu, Yue Chen, and Sehoon Ha, as well as Prof. Anqi Wu from School of Computational Science and Engineering.
Professor Andrzej Święch is one of only 40 mathematical scientists recognized this year for outstanding contributions to the creation, exposition, advancement, communication, and utilization of mathematics.
Angela Juric’s childhood changed after her father's workplace accident. Through resilience and a Kids’ Chance scholarship, she's now a third-year biology major pursuing a career in healthcare.
Faculty at Georgia Tech use their expertise in engineering, math, and computer science to apply common principles of these disciplines to neuroscience research. Within the Institute for Neuroscience, Neurotechnology, and Society (INNS),neuroscientists use these quantitative methods to understand how humans think, treat disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and better understand psychiatric disorders.
After discovering a historic bird survey in the Pacific Northwest, Georgia Tech’s Ben Freeman located the original sites, repeating the surveys three decades later. Each day, he would wake up at four in the morning to locate and visit the research areas — often navigating trails, open forest, and rough terrain on foot.
Leykin and his international team are developing an AI-powered interface to link proof verification and computational algebra, aiming to transform how mathematicians collaborate and solve complex problems.

Researchers have long known that when two galaxies approach each other and merge, the supermassive black holes at their centers form a pair and are eventually expected to merge as well. It is precisely these mergers that are considered one of the sources of the gravitational-wave background — a faint “hum” of spacetime detected in recent years. However, the role played by the geometry of the collision in this process has remained an open question.
Graduate student Sena Ghobadi of the Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Physics, along with her colleagues, has developed three-dimensional dynamic models of such collisions.
