The call from his mom is still vivid 20 years later. Moments this big and this devastating can define lives, and for Hong Yeo, today a Georgia Tech mechanical engineer, this call certainly did. Yeo was a 21-year-old in college studying car design when his mom called to…
Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology Builds the Future Microelectronics Workforce
When Amy Bonecutter-Leonard was a second-semester undergraduate at the Georgia Institute of Technology, she applied for a work-study job in the cleanroom at the Microelectronics Research Center (MiRC).…
Physicists Pioneer New Quantum Sensing Platform
Quantum sensors detect the smallest of environmental changes — for example, an atom reacting to a magnetic field. As these sensors “read” the unique behaviors of subatomic particles, they also dramatically improve scientists’ ability to measure and detect changes in our wider environment.
Monitoring these tiny…

Advancing Clean Energy: Georgia Tech Hosts Energy Materials Day
More than 400 people participated in Energy Materials Day on March 27, as researchers and industry leaders came together to discuss and advance energy materials technologies such as solar energy, carbon-neutral fuels, and batteries.
Energy materials are the things — natural, manufactured, or both — that aid the…
Empowering Research Faculty: Georgia Tech’s Strategic Plan
Georgia Tech is supporting career growth for its research faculty, who do critical work at the heart of the research enterprise.
The word faculty is often synonymous with tenure-track professors — the individuals who teach courses and run major labs with their surnames in the title. But while…
Jud Ready Joins National Academy of Inventors’ 2024 Class of Senior Members
Jud Ready, a principal research engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), has been selected to join the National Academy of Inventors’ (NAI) 2024 Class of Senior Members – a group of 124 academic inventors from NAI’s Member Institutions who have made significant contributions to innovation and technology…
