The philanthropic program, co-founded by ECE graduate Mel Coker, gives underrepresented student groups soft skills training and valuable networking opportunities, helping them to land jobs and become leaders in the workforce.
Georgia Tech electrical and computer engineering students will now benefit from an expanded tapeout-to-silicon curriculum and have access to Apple engineers to better prepare for a career in hardware engineering.
A group of Georgia Tech Researchers, featuring ECE professor Santiago Grijalva, are developing an artificial intelligence-enabled system named GridLogic to detect abnormal behavior inside an electrical grid network. The AFCEA publication Signal wrote about the program and how it will go beyond traditional anomaly detection and could protect other critical infrastructure segments, including distributed energy resources —solar panels and wind turbines, for instance—the network, and overall cyber-physical systems.
Spearheaded by Professor Santiago Grijalva, the NSF-backed project is set to enhance grid reliability and cost-efficiency with AI-driven decentralized optimization for renewables.
