“Our idea was to develop a system that provides early warning for the presence of infectious disease rather than the typical, you know, human diagnostics which are very complex and time consuming, and results can take hours or even days," said Mike Farrell, a GTRI principal research scientist leading the project.

As part of such efforts, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia Tech Research Institute have jointly developed a new process and materials whereby green hydrogen can be produced far more affordably as a source of renewable energy.

Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division participated in the first Marne Innovation Workshop at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Jan. 6-9, 2022. The workshop is a collaborative event that included participants from the Army ROTC program at Georgia Tech, the United States Military Academy and the 75th Innovation Command.

The Georgia Institute of Technology has broken into the top 20 in higher education research and development spending. While overall higher education research spending slowed to 3.3% growth in fiscal year 2020, the Georgia Tech research enterprise, which includes the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), rose to 9.3% – or approximately $1.049 million in expenditures.

A hotbed for semiconductor innovation, the Georgia Institute of Technology offers deep domain expertise in device and integration technologies, as well as high-assurance tools for chip security. The Institute, along with Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), leads in areas such as emerging materials/devices, innovative circuit/architectures, and advanced integration and packaging.

After five and a half years at Georgia Tech, including seven semesters of co-op, Lily Huff is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with a concentration in design. After graduating, Huff will work with GTRI as a research engineer, designing and testing systems for the military.

"GTRI is unique because of its emphasis on national security applied research and development and longstanding relationships in the defense industry, combined with attention to building collaborative academic research relationships across Georgia Tech," said Courtney Crooks.

For DNA to make a difference in the storage problem, it needs to scale up, while the cost must come down. New research led by the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) aims to achieve both. 

Scientists say they have made a major step forward in efforts to store information as molecules of DNA, which are more compact and long-lasting than other options.

Researchers have made significant advances toward the goal of a new microchip able to grow DNA strands that could provide high-density 3D archival data storage at ultra-low cost — and be able to hold that information for hundreds of years.

Georgia Tech’s aerospace engineering research, expertise in national defense and security, diverse student population, and ROTC program secured the partnership with the U.S. Space Force.

The US Air Force (USAF) recently tested its “Angry Kitten” electronic countermeasures training pod on an F-16 aircraft at the Benefield Anechoic Facility at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The test assessed the Georgia Tech Research Institute-developed electronic warfare (EW) countermeasure pod’s compatibility with aircraft systems such as Fire Control Radar.

the University Consortium for Applied Hypersonics (UCAH) has tapped the Georgia Institute of Technology and key academic partners for four grants valued at $6 million over the next three years. The awards draw on Georgia Tech and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) expertise across advanced, high-temperature materials science and aerospace and mechanical engineering research — areas critical for future advances of these vehicles.

Georgia Tech’s Colleges of Sciences and Engineering have long collaborated to launch successful joint space science research projects with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Researchers across both Colleges and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are now hard at work on several ambitious projects related to NASA’s planned return to Earth’s moon — and beyond.

Georgia Tech is committed to putting research into action. In fiscal year 2021, the Institute brought in $1.2 billion in new grants and contracts for research and other sponsored activities. Of this amount, $781 million was granted to the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), the applied research division of the Institute. 

The Cobb Chamber hosted leaders from the Georgia Tech Research Institute and Lockheed Martin on Monday, Sept. 13.

At the 2021 Poultry Tech Summit, Wayne Daley, Ph.D., Georgia Tech Research Institute will discuss how the autonomous robot for cage-free layer house management can actively sense and characterize bird status as it moves through the house. 

The University System of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents (BOR) appointed 12 Georgia Tech faculty members to Regents Professors and Regents Researchers. Among these were Glenn Parker, principal research engineer and associate director of the Applied Systems Laboratory in the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), and Gregory Showman, principal research engineer and GTRI Fellow at GTRI's Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory.

Georgia Tech received two National Science Foundation (NSF) Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes awards, totaling $40 million. A third award for $20 million was granted to the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA), with Georgia Tech serving as one of the leading academic institutions. These awards will expand and complement ongoing AI research efforts at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI).
