  • 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.

  • The ACT (Autonomous and Connected Transportation) Driving Simulator Team addresses problems that arise in multiple dimensions due to the emergence of autonomy, connectivity, and novel tech-leveraged modes in transportation. A major focus is to understand the interactions among drivers/travelers, emerging vehicular technologies related to connectivity and autonomy, and novel infrastructure...

  • To develop a system that will be able to drive like an expert human driver. In order to achieve this, we will initially monitor the driving styles of several drivers using a high-fidelity driving simulator. Based on the measurements, we will be able to classify drivers according to their skill using graphical inference models. We will then develop suitable models for drivers’ actions and...

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

  • The Laboratory for Intelligent Decision and Autonomous Robots (LIDAR) at Georgia Tech focus on planning, control, and decision-making algorithms of highly dynamic, under-actuated, and human-cooperative robots in complex environments. The VIP Team will explore the challenging research topics in mechanical design, mechatronics, control algorithm design, and perception of dynamic legged...

  • To develop an automotive LiDAR system in support of the emerging technical area of vehicle autonomy and increased safety.

  • The Bits of Good VIP team is closely linked to the Bits of Good student organization. In order to participate in the VIP, you will need to be a member of the BoG student organization, as this is where teams, roles, and training will take place. As a member of VIP, you will have some additional responsibilities to support the assignment of individual grades for the VIP. These...

  • This VIP takes as its main focus Georgia Tech’s new Living Building – the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design – and its efforts to advance social equity as one of seven key performance areas in the Living Building Challenge. Students in this class work closely with community partners to support the...

  • The objective of this program is to develop tools and methods for designing and securely using configurable computing in embedded systems.

  • We are currently developing a drone delivery system that could be used to deliver small packages on Georgia Tech campus. We have constructed and flight tested a drone with the ability to pick up a package and accurately drop it into a package locker. ...

  • Advance the fundamental science in the assessment of natural and man-made hazards (e.g. earthquakes, landslides, liquefaction, sea-level rise, hazards in tailing dams, heap leach pads, coal ash facilities) through novel developments in performance-based and risk engineering. ...

  • Our team seeks to create robust, comprehensive, and transparent real-time power outage data measured at multiple geographic scales for the entire country to 1) deliver rapid emergency response and medical services, 2) inform public investments in grid resilience and restoration, and 3) identify which local communities are more socio-economically vulnerable to climate risk of energy...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • This VIP class integrates United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 and 16. Building resilient Infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable Industrialization, and fostering Innovation are the themes for SDG9. The SDG16 promotes peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development and building inclusive institutions at all levels. This VIP will bring together ideas,...

  • To develop smart city infrastructure health and safety condition monitoring, assessment, and diagnosis with the use of emerging sensor technologies (e.g. smart phones, 2D imaging, 3D laser scanning, 3D LiDAR, 3D printing, UAV, GPS, Telematics, CV/AV, etc.) with machine learning, computer vision, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, signal processing, multi-source/scale/frequency...

  • 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...
