College of Sciences

As chair of the Faculty Executive Board, the College of Sciences' Angus Wilkinson will help lead the faculty in governance of itself, the curriculum, and Georgia Tech students.

Dean Lozier has guided the College of Sciences through a vibrant chapter of growth, charting a bold strategic plan centered on the idea that “science is for everyone.” During her tenure, the College has set records in enrollment, research funding, and philanthropic support while introducing dozens of innovative programs across six internationally ranked schools.

Before building a fusion reactor, designing a new aircraft, or forecasting tsunamis, scientists and engineers test their ideas using computer simulations. The people who create and use the software that powers these simulations are meeting in Atlanta this fall to share best practices and improve their tools.

Georgia Tech is hosting the 2026 MFEM (Modular Finite Element Methods) Community Workshop, Sept. 22-25. MFEM supports research in computational physics, earth systems modeling, engineering, energy, and other fields. 

The four-day workshop is being held at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center and will focus on improving software for scientific computing and discovery. Participants can also attend online. Registration for the workshop is open through Sept. 11. 

The award will support funding aimed at uncovering new insights that could support future coral restoration and disease management efforts.
