When Western-Trained AI Meets African Healthcare
Artificial intelligence is increasingly stepping into the world of medicine. Large language models can summarize clinical notes, answer health questions, and assist physicians in diagnosing disease. In places where doctors are scarce and healthcare infrastructure is limited; these tools promise to expand access to care. But there is a problem hiding inside the data…
Tough Workout? Deleon’s At-Home Tech Reveals Personalized Insights to Guide Your Recovery
Deleon Technologies, a CREATE-X alumni company, is bringing daily metabolomics tracking of ten amino acids into homes by miniaturizing lab testing equipment and leveraging data-driven insights to provide athletes with personalized workout and recovery tips.
Designing With, Not For: Dr. Carl DiSalvo’s Approach to Accompaniment
Last semester, faculty, students, and researchers gathered in the Hodges Room at Centergy One for the latest IPaT GVU Lunch Lecture. Dr. Carl DiSalvo, professor in the School of Interactive Computing, took the floor to pose a simple but unsettling question: What if the real power of design is not what we produce, but how we stand with people along the way?
Audrey Chung Is Building Games That Embrace Uncertainty
Researcher, game designer, and creative technologist Audrey Chung embraces uncertainty as they explore new ways of telling stories through game design, where narratives unfold through player choice rather than fixed scripts.
Mapping Heat Across Atlanta’s Neighborhoods
On a summer Atlanta afternoon, the temperature can shift block by block. A street lined with trees feels bearable. Two intersections over, asphalt radiates heat and the air hangs heavy. Those differences are not incidental, nor are they harmless. For PhD candidate Ashley Boone, data provides a pathway to change that reality by mapping, interpreting, and mobilizing environmental patterns in the city.
PuffEM Takes a New Approach to Vaping Research
Vaping is now widespread, particularly among young adults, yet researchers lack reliable tools to quantify real-time nicotine intake. A new device developed at TSRB’s Uncommon Senses Lab estimates nicotine exposure by detecting the electromagnetic fields generated during each puff. The team calls it PuffEM.
AgeTech Connect Kicks Off 2026 with Collaboration…and Robots!
“This isn’t a meetup, it’s a movement,” said Jeffrey Gray, Founder and CEO of AgeTech Connect, which is redefining the experience of aging through technology. On January 21, Gray welcomed 150 attendees to the AgeTech Connect 2026 Kickoff, held in partnership with RoboGeorgia at the Biltmore Innovation Center, and shared trends about where the AgeTech ecosystem is headed in 2026, and beyond!
Bookmark This: Editors Share Insights for Success in Academic Publishing
Publishing your work can be daunting; the process can seem opaque and, at times, arbitrary. At Georgia Tech’s Editor-in-Chief Summit: Navigating Academic Publishing, hosted by the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, eight editors shed light on how you can successfully publish your work.

NASA @ GT: Bringing Space Technology Down to Earth
Atlanta’s tech ecosystem is getting a lift from NASA’s Technology Transfer University program, which lets Georgia Tech students turn real NASA patents into market-ready ideas. “Integrating NASA patents into our technology entrepreneurship course was a tremendous success,” says Professor Greg Mihalik.
Architecture Students Will Help Shape the Future of the Biltmore
Georgia Tech is reshaping Midtown by making it not only a center for startups and research, but also a living classroom. Next spring, a new architecture studio class taught by Professor David Yocum will invite graduate students to imagine the future of one of Tech Square’s newest spaces: the Biltmore Block.
Georgia Tech Hosts Its First AI Career Fair
On November 17, 2025, Georgia Tech hosted its first AI Career Fair. Throughout the inaugural event, the Georgia Tech Exhibition Hall was a hive of activity as over 500 students, interested in artificial intelligence (AI)-related career opportunities, engaged with nearly 30 employers to explore career paths, gain industry insights, and build professional networks. “This is an amazing event to have these opportunities to meet these employers in person. I have always gotten interviews from meeting people in person,” said a Georgia Tech student and computer science major.
