Same name. Same campus. Same Yellow Jacket pride. 🐝

Michael Carson Sr. and his son, Michael Carson, both work at Georgia Tech. Carson Sr. drives the Stinger's Green route, while Carson serves as building coordinator for Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech.

The father-and-son duo proves that for some families, Tech is more than a workplace. 💛 | c.gatech.edu/4eqFns0

A group of Georgia Tech researchers has created headphones that can relay sound from all directions. Spherephones have four speakers on each ear so users can hear sound from above, behind, and below in addition to left and right.

Spherephones were originally developed to improve safety for factory workers interacting with robotic equipment. This omnidirectional audio experience has the potential to revolutionize the VR gaming experience. | c.gatech.edu/3Se1hYa 🐝🎧

Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera has been named the new president and CEO of The Aspen Institute. Arriving on The Flats in 2019, Cabrera became the 12th president of Georgia Tech and led the Institute through a period of remarkable growth.

During his tenure, enrollment increased by 55%. At 56,000 students, Georgia Tech is now the largest university in the state. Under Cabrera's guidance, Georgia Tech has surpassed $1.4 billion in research awards and is a top-ranked university in the country in total research expenditures among institutions without a medical school.

In the last seven years, Georgia Tech has developed major research centers in AI, neuroscience, and space — continuing to position Georgia Tech as a global research institute dedicated to progress and service in Atlanta, the state of Georgia, the nation, and the world.

A Georgia Tech alum will now be the president and CEO of The Aspen Institute. Congratulations, President Cabrera! c.gatech.edu/presidentcabrera 🐝

Don’t forget to invite Buzz to the wedding 🤵🐝
Georgia Tech alum Bailey met Esteban at work in Miami. They became close friends at work after collaborating on many projects (as the design engineer and reliability engineer).

Bailey is currently an engineering manager at Pavilion Furniture, and Esteban is the director of design quality at Frida. And yes, Buzz made the guest list. 💛

A small head tilt can now open up a world of possibilities.

Georgia Tech research engineers Nordine Sebkhi and Arpan Bhavsar developed Kinemo, a wearable technology that helps people with physical disabilities control their phones, TVs, music systems, and more through simple, intentional movements.

What started as research in a Georgia Tech lab is now helping users regain access to their digital lives, increasing independence and making everyday tasks easier. Developed alongside clinicians and users like Wendell Odom at the Shepherd Center, the technology continues to evolve in response to real-world needs. 🐝 | c.gatech.edu/3Sgw8Dd

Georgia Tech completed the four-year EcoCAR Challenge cycle with a first-place win at the final competition. The team earned the first-place overall finish, 11 engineering awards, and two communications awards.

Over the four-year cycle, more than 250 undergraduate and graduate students from six Georgia Tech Colleges collaborated to reengineer a Cadillac LYRIQ EV, adding a new front motor, a clutch-enabled rear motor, and automated driving features. 🏎️🐝 | c.gatech.edu/4uGAaTW
