The grant will support Chu as she uses radar data and generative AI to map temperatures beneath the Antarctica ice sheet, aiming to improve climate predictions, support coastal planning, and train future scientists through open-access tools and education.
The 2025 round of Sustainability Next Research Seed Grants has been awarded to 17 transdisciplinary research teams representing a vibrant network of 51 collaborators from across Georgia Tech. These teams span 21 unique units from six of the seven Colleges, including Schools, research centers, and Interdisciplinary Research Institutes.
The new bachelor’s degree brings together essential elements of both mathematics and computing training and includes the applications of mathematical theories relevant to computing and data, as well as the theoretical problems and real-world challenges that modern computing addresses.
The inaugural cohort of Georgia Tech’s Ph.D. program in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology includes both transfers from other Georgia Tech graduate programs and students new to the Institute.
The College of Sciences’ community came together to celebrate the inaugural Distinguished Alumni Awards, recognizing the diverse achievements and inspiring journeys of eight alumni.
Simple equations are revealing how topography controls supraglacial lake size in Antarctica — and why it matters for climate predictions.

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.
