A Message from the Chair
Dear friends,
As technology continues to accelerate, the expertise of computer and electrical engineers is more critical than ever. The Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) continues to grow in both size and impact to address that demand. We are proud to be meeting the moment with purpose, preparing students to lead and creating knowledge that serves society.
As you'll read below, the 2024–2025 academic and fiscal year has been exceptional across research, education, and collaboration. We remain one of the largest ECE programs in the country. This scale allows us to lead across a wide range of fields, from artificial intelligence and semiconductors to energy systems and cybersecurity. Our faculty and students are delivering solutions that serve the nation and improve lives.
This year, we reached a record $93.4 million in research expenditures, a reflection of both the trust placed in our work and the relevance of our contributions. Across every layer of the technology stack ECE continues to shape the tools and ideas that move society forward.
This progress is only possible because of the dedication, vision, and support of our community. Your commitment fuels our momentum and amplifies our impact. Together, we are not just responding to change, we are driving it, and engineering the world ahead.
Thank you for your support! Go Jackets!

Where Experts Lead
What It Takes to Deliver a Tech‑Heavy World Cup
With hundreds of thousands of people attending World Cup games and billions more watching at home, an immense amount of technology will be needed to ensure a seamless, safe, and enjoyable experience. Experts from ECE explain how electrical and computer engineering are facilitating some of the tournament's newest and most crucial technology.
Engineering the Car of the Future
ECE experts look to the future of the automotive industry, and how new technology—from innovations in electric motors, wireless charging, autonomous systems, and beyond—will not only transform vehicles, but reshape the power grid, influence policy decisions, and impact numerous aspects of society.

2025-2026 Highlights
Momentum Builds for FutureG Wireless Communications with Launch of New Research Center
The Center for Wireless Intelligence establishes Georgia Tech as a hub for wireless innovation, powered by a top-tier testbed spanning multiple sites and deep cross-sector collaboration.
How a Lens Is Pushing the Limits of Near-Zero‑Power Wireless Communication to Gigabits‑Per‑Second Speeds
Emmanouil Tentzeris and Marvin Joshi’s new work demonstrates how a lens‑enabled backscatter system can deliver modern wireless capability without traditional transmitters.
A Common Language to Understand AI Systems
Like the internet before it, AI systems need shared standards to work together. Tushar Krishna and industry collaborators have released Chakra, a new set of tools designed to help make that possible.
Smart Sensor System Targets Global Gaps in Menstrual Health Care
The initiative, co-led by Ali Adibi and Ashkan Zandi, is developing sensor technology in menstrual products to detect heavy bleeding, addressing a condition often overlooked until it causes severe health consequences.
Researchers Discover New Form of NAND Flash Data Storage for Deep Space Missions
Led by Asif Khan, with Ph.D. student Lance Fernandes, researchers are developing memory that pairs AI performance with resilience to space-level radiation.
New Wearable Reroutes Lost Sensation, Restores Stability
Matthew Flavin has developed a wireless wearable that translates foot pressure into heat and vibration, helping individuals with sensory impairments regain balance and mobility.
Accelerating Discovery With AI
Scientific discovery is often portrayed as the result of long hours alone in a lab, but true science is inherently collaborative. The most robust experimental processes are developed through partnerships across multiple areas of research.
