INDUSTRY FRIENDLY CUSTOMER - FOCUSED RESPONSIVE UNIQUELY VALUABLEEmpowering People Through Human-Centered TechnologiesResearchers at Georgia Tech are pursuing innovative new ideas to improve human life on a global scale. Through our commitment to fostering an interdisciplinary and collaborative environment, we are at the forefront of solving today’s scientific, social, and economic grand challenges.

IPaT’s “3T” Approach to Maximize Georgia Tech’s Research Impact

The Institute for People and Technology (IPaT) connects industry, government and non profit leaders with Georgia Tech researchers to maximize the societal impact of the Institute’s research in Health, Education, Media, Humanitarian Systems and Enterprise Transformation—whether that research is related to a transformative health care solution, novel designs for classroom learning, or cutting edge augmented reality technology.

For us, success is defined through the expansion of fundamental knowledge and the transition of research results from the lab to the real world.

The convergence of people, technology, and enterprises is transforming how we live, work, and play. IPaT researchers understand that solving complex problems requires combining the input of diverse groups. At IPaT, interdisciplinary teams of computer scientists, system scientists, and engineers are partnering with psychologists, sociologists, architects, designers, economists, medical professionals, government officials, and others to develop technologies that empower people in all walks of life.

IPaT consolidates advances in system science and engineering, business, policy, information technology, and

human-centered design.

IPaT deploys living laboratories, testbeds and datasets to facilitate the

translation of research findings to practical applications.

IPaT creates innovation crossroads for researchers, industry partners, govern-ment partners, and other stakeholders

to meet and develop transformative solutions for complex societal changes.

Driving Human-Centered Innovation at the CONVERGENCE OF PEOPLE & TECHNOLOGYHealth ResearchIPaT’s health care research brings together expertise of accomplished scholars and clinicians. We work to transform healthcare delivery systems by creating novel and easily accessible health and wellness technologies. IPaT has led new breakthroughs in health information technology, approaches for increasing patient engagement and treatment adherence, clinical process improvements, and new healthcare delivery knowledge.

Education ResearchIPaT’s education research focuses on the transformation of education through innovations such as open courseware, inverted classroom teaching, and individualized instruction. This spirit of experimentation allows educators and academ-ics to strive for a real-world impact on curriculum, teachers, students, and programs. Our researchers examine a wide range of techniques and approaches to improve STEM education, especially to improve diversity in STEM fields.

Humanitarian Systems ResearchIPaT’s work in humanitarian systems is focused on innovative communication and information technologies to aid commu-nities during disaster and crisis situations while also fostering robust communities through civic engagement. We examine the role of information communications technologies (ICTs) in social and political development, with the goal of building systems that support communities.

Media ResearchIPaT’s media research explores new ideas in global media and focuses on shaping the future of content creation, distribution, and consumption. Through this initiative, we work to research and develop technologies such as wearable computing and augmented reality, user experiences to foster creativity, social computing, and AI gaming technologies.

Enterprise Transformation ResearchIPaT’s work in enterprise transformation provides a structured approach for understanding the transformation of complex enterprise systems. Through the Tennenbaum Institute, we leverage the wealth of expertise across Georgia Tech’s colleges and schools, as well as partner institutions, to understand and enable fundamental change of private and public sector enterprises.

IPaT ResearchersWith nearly 200 academic and applied researchers, IPaT represents a diverse set of academic disciplines. Our re-searchers come from all six Georgia Tech colleges as well as the Georgia Tech Research Institute, the Enterprise Innovation Institute, and the Office of Information Technology.

StudentsHundreds of bright, talented Georgia Tech students are at the heart of many IPaT projects, including: IPaT’s Living Labs, the GT Journey initiative, and the Convergence Innovation Competition. Each semester, our students share their in-credible work with industry, media, and the Atlanta startup community at our extensive research showcases.

Working with UsBoth government and industry engage with Georgia Tech for a variety of purposes—from basic and applied research to licensing and commercialization to recruiting and training—and do so in a variety of ways.

IPaT serves an excellent starting point for any organization wishing to work with Georgia Tech in the areas of health, media, education, humanitarian systems, and enterprise transformation technologies.

Government agencies and industry work with us to connect with a large portfolio of academic and applied research programs, to create and use novel research laboratories, to interact with Georgia Tech students, and to collaborate with other executives and influencers.
