The fellowships are awarded to outstanding graduate students pursuing STEM research and education.
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.
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.
A major new international study exploring the long-term relationship between job and life satisfaction shows that personal happiness is the major driver for a satisfying work life, not the other way around.

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.
