Our depth of expertise offers an opportunity for faculty and students to collaborate in any number of research areas, as evidenced by the number of faculty and students participating in interdisciplinary research centers at Georgia Tech:
College of Computing Research Centers
Algorithms & Randomness Center and ThinkTank (ARC ThinkTank)The ARC ThinkTank brings together faculty from the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, along with Math and ISyE to find algorithms and algorithmic models for real-world problems across the sciences and, in the process, seeking new directions and techniques for the emerging theory of algorithms. |
|
Center for Experimental Research in Computer Systems (CERCS)CERCS is one of the largest experimental systems programs in the U.S. focusing on complex hardware, communications and system-level software, and applications that lead the innovation of new information and computing technologies. |
|
Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC)GTISC is a national leader in information security research and education including: systems vulnerability assessment, theory development, and public and organizational security policies. |
|
Interdisciplinary Research Center (GVU)GVU creates the computing technologies that enhance people’s abilities to improve their lives. |
|
Robotics and Intelligent Machines Center (RIM@Georgia Tech)RIM@Georgia Tech is an interdisciplinary center, leveraging the strengths and expertise of the College of Computing, College of Engineering and the Georgia Tech Research Institute, leading the world in personal and social robotics research and innovation. |
Collaborative Research Initiatives
Aware Home Research Initiative (AHRI)
The Aware Home Research Initiative (AHRI) is an interdisciplinary research endeavor that addresses challenges facing the future of domestic technologies. A unique and critical resource in this activity is the Georgia Tech Broadband Institute Residential Laboratory, a three-story, 5040-square-foot home that functions as a living laboratory for interdisciplinary design, development and evaluation.
Georgia Computes! Project
Georgia Computes! has been awarded a grant from the NSF Broadening
Participation in Computing Initiative to expand the pipeline of quality students and faculty at
all educational levels and increase the participation of historically
under-represented groups such as women and minorities in undergraduate and
graduate computer science programs.
Health Systems Institute (HSI)
The Health Systems Institute (HSI) is creating a new model for healthcare delivery through integrative interdisciplinary solutions, drawing from medicine, engineering, computing, management, and public policy. Participation in HSI comes from several units at Georgia Tech (including the College of Computing), Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. HSI offers interesting educational and research opportunities for College of Computing students and faculty.
Institute for Personal Robots in Education (IPRE)
The Institute for Personal Robots in Education (IPRE) applies and evaluates robots as a context for computer science education. IPRE is a joint effort between Georgia Tech and Bryn Mawr College sponsored by Microsoft Research.
Samsung Tech Advanced Research Center (STAR)
The mission of the center is to carry out cutting-edge research in
areas of software technologies and to produce globally significant
research results towards realizing digital convergence revolution.
Sony-Toshiba-IBM Center of Competence (STI)
The STI Center puts Tech at the forefront of groundbreaking semiconductor design and will explore ways to adapt cell technology for other industries, including biotech, finance and digital media creation. Researchers will also teach students and outside companies how to program computers and write software for the new type of chip. The College of Computing at Georgia Tech has been designated as the first Sony-Toshiba-IBM Center of Competence to build a community of programmers and broaden industry support for the Cell Broadband Engine microprocessor.
Tennenbaum Institute
The Tennenbaum Institute focuses on understanding and supporting — via best practices, methods and tools — strategic and operational change to transform existing private and public enterprises to become more cost-effective and competitive. The institute partners with academic, corporate and government sector organizations and experts to develop business practices and shape organizational cultures for sustained economic growth.
Web Science Initiative
The Web Science Initiative at Georgia Tech seeks to understand the impact of the Internet and help invent its future. Web technologies are playing an increasingly central role in business, education, entertainment, health and research. Understanding these phenomena and engineering their future requires a new interdisciplinary approach. The Web Science Initiative at Georgia Tech aims to strengthen ties among disciplines across campus, explore new possible interdisciplinary educational programs, and build stronger ties between Georgia Tech and the web industry.
