  • This VIP team will focus on accelerating sustainable development in Africa. As the population rapidly increases (more than 2 billion projected by 2050), there are pressing needs in multiple areas. Students are invited to analyze, assess and discuss efforts to achieve sustainable development in Africa, and contribute projects on sustainable development there. Projects may...

  • To develop 2-D to 2-D tunneling structures to enable for smaller, faster, more capable microelectronic devices applied to a broad range of applications such as energy, RF, and sensing.

  • For students to learn the theory and gain the skills necessary to fabricate next-generation batteries for EVs, spacecraft, and Smart Cities infrastructure.

  • Leverage advances in machine learning and data analytics to enable faster and more accurate calculations of chemical properties using quantum-mechanical techniques such as density functional theory (DFT). ...

  • Due to ITAR and other access restrictions this project is limited to US citizens only.

  • We are comprised of several teams, made up of both undergraduate and graduate students, all working on different projects to solve global development issues. These solutions include: economic technologies for rural farmers, nutrition and farming engineering, vulnerability analyses, and accessible healthcare technology. We value human-centered design and co-creating with communities to ensure...

  • This transdisciplinary design-build VIP is a design-build seminar focusing in Sustainable Industry Innovation for a more Circular Economy. This VIP will explore necessary changes in the Design, Engineering, Sourcing, Manufacturing and Operation of Solutions. Explore new value and business models that enable and foster a transition from a linear economy (relying on linear supply chains often...

  • The purpose of the Living Building Science team is to evaluate the impact of the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design on the non-human living and nonliving environment using sustainable scientific methods.

  • NASA, Georgia Tech, and GTRI are developing energy technologies to support future missions to Mars. The VIP M.A.R.S. Team will research, develop, and test renewable energy systems in collaboration with scientists and engineers at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Moon and Mars offer difficult challenges to NASA’s ambitious plan for exploration, including acquisition of reliable and...

  • Energy has become one of the world's biggest engineering challenges. The current carbon-based energy supply faces conventional reserves depletion and climatic hurdles. The goal of this project is to address enhanced subsurface energy recovery and associated environmental mitigation from a geoengineering perspective. The team will study fundamental science and develop technologies to enhance...

  • Conventional environmental simulation approaches in urban design are time-consuming and often incompatible with the fast-paced design processes. This project aims to revolutionize this outdated paradigm by developing surrogate models that accelerate simulations, thereby offering real-time feedback to urban decision-makers, such as architects, urban designers, and policymakers. Our goal is to...
