College of Sciences graduates deliver career insights at the Students and Alumni Leadership Dinner.
Professor Wheaton has been involved in the American Society of Neurorehabilitation (ASNR) for nearly two decades. His research interests initially drew him to ASNR; his belief in the organization’s mission led him to join its leadership team.
The fellowships are awarded to outstanding graduate students pursuing STEM research and education.
Leykin is among two Georgia Tech mathematicians to receive the prestigious award. The Fellowship will support one year of research, during which he aims to tackle a key celestial mechanics problem using nonlinear algebra and tropical geometry.
The College of Sciences’ signature research event featured thought-provoking discussions at the intersection of neuroscience, cognition, and artificial intelligence.
The new center, announced by the College in December 2024, will drive research aimed at improving life across the state of Georgia.
Experts In The News
Research led by Georgia Tech physicist Itamar Kolvin has found that the presence of small imperfections or heterogeneities in materials can have a dual effect on their strength and resilience. While heterogeneities were historically believed to make materials stronger by creating an obstacle course for cracks, the new study shows that in some complex materials, heterogeneities can actually accelerate crack propagation and weaken the overall structure. The findings have implications for how engineers design and reinforce materials to optimize their toughness.
Atlanta Today February 27, 2026Assistant Professor Zhu-Xi Luo and Ph.D. student Yi-Lin Tsao from Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Physics have demonstrated a novel mechanism for stabilising physical phases vulnerable to topological defects. Their work addresses a fundamental problem in condensed matter physics: the destabilisation of phases like superfluids by thermally-induced defects such as anyons and vortices.
