This semester, 36 faculty members from across the Institute, including four from the College of Sciences, were awarded tenure.
Chemistry major Matthew Rohan and biomedical engineering major Anirudh Sriram were awarded the prestigious Barry Goldwater Scholarship for exceptional academic achievements and dedication to STEM research.
The fellowships are awarded to outstanding graduate students pursuing STEM research and education.
Professor Wheaton has been involved in the American Society of Neurorehabilitation (ASNR) for nearly two decades. His research interests initially drew him to ASNR; his belief in the organization’s mission led him to join its leadership team.
Leykin is among two Georgia Tech mathematicians to receive the prestigious award. The Fellowship will support one year of research, during which he aims to tackle a key celestial mechanics problem using nonlinear algebra and tropical geometry.
The College of Sciences’ signature research event featured thought-provoking discussions at the intersection of neuroscience, cognition, and artificial intelligence.

In an article published by The Conversation, Professor Joseph Montoya, Postdoctoral Fellow Xing Zhou, and their collaborator discuss sargassum blooms and their impact on the Caribbean and Gulf coasts and the coasts of the tropical Atlantic. According to their research, the vast mats of smelly, brown seaweed affecting these areas may have entered a "self-sustaining cycle, effectively feeding their own expansion."
The Conversation July 28, 2026Researchers in the School of Physics, working with King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, have found that standard methods for identifying chirality in topological phases fail when applied to mixed quantum states. The study reveals that established diagnostics, including bulk-boundary correspondence and the modular commutator, are unreliable in these complex systems. Consequently, the research presents two new measures, based on relative entropy, to accurately diagnose chirality and determine the chiral central charge in decohered topological phases, indicating a need for a new set of tools when investigating mixed-state topology.
