Grace Driskill made Georgia Tech history when she arrived on campus in 2023. She is the first student-athlete to study computational science and engineering (CSE). While this is a notable benchmark, Driskill’s achievements on the track and in the classroom defined her career at Georgia Tech. 

As a competitive runner, Driskill holds the fourth-fastest 3000-meter time in the history of Georgia Tech’s women's indoor track program. Off the track, Driskill is a three-time All-ACC Academic team honoree on the women’s cross-country and track teams, and in 2024, she received the College of Computing’s Donald V. Jackson Fellowship. 

We caught up with Driskill to learn more about her and how she balances academic and athletic responsibilities. 

Grace Driskill has spent the last three years defining excellence at Georgia Tech. Between coding algorithms to setting running records, achievement has followed Driskill everywhere she has gone throughout her collegiate career. 

Driskill came to Georgia Tech in 2023 as a graduate transfer to run long-distance for the women’s cross country and track teams. In doing so, she became the first-ever student-athlete in the School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). 

While a pioneer in her own right, the trails that Driskill blazed will be her legacy at Georgia Tech and the School of CSE.

The College of Sciences proudly recognizes the six graduate scholars awarded $1,000 in research travel grants during the Career, Research, Innovation, and Development Conference (CRIDC) poster competition.

The 2025 Southeastern Energy Conference, Georgia Tech’s annual student-led energy and sustainability conference, took place from Feb. 28 to March 1, 2025. Organized by the Energy Club at Georgia Tech, the conference welcomed over 100 attendees, including industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and students, fostering dynamic discussions on the future of energy. The theme for this year’s conference, "Going Global: Energy’s Place on the World Stage," highlighted the international nature of energy challenges and solutions, emphasizing collaboration across borders.

Two outstanding ISyE PhD students were honored for their research at the 2025 Southeast Regional Clinical and Translational Science Conference in Pine Mountain, Georgia. 

The Georgia Tech Debate Team is looking to capitalize on recent success and elevate the program's standing.

This year, three Ph.D. students were awarded $3,000 each to pursue their research. These students demonstrated that their research, and associated publication, contributed to societal progress. 
 

As he prepares to graduate, Computer Science (CS) major Matthew Kistner is closing a chapter as the Ramblin’ Wreck driver. 

More than a ceremonial role, being the Wreck’s driver comes with significant responsibilities and a deep commitment to preserving Georgia Tech traditions. Kistner took on the challenge of balancing his studies with managing the car and its schedule.  

Kantwon Rogers has spent 13 years at Georgia Tech. In that timeframe, he's earned four degrees and taught as an instructor for the Computing for Engineers (CS 1371) course for eight years.

Sonali Kaluri, Seth Kinoshita, and Medina McCowin have been selected as walk-on recipients of the prestigious Stamps President's Scholarship. Chosen for their academic achievements, leadership, and commitment to service, they will receive full scholarships, mentoring, and unique growth opportunities.

The student group presented their research on the evaluation of various plants in student living accommodations. The independent research project was initially funded through the Micro Research Grants for Regenerative Built Environments sponsored by The Kendeda Building Advisory Board and the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems. This feat is uncommon among Georgia Tech student organizations but can serve as a case study for future SOS trips as well as other clubs.

Team Atlanta, a cybersecurity team of Georgia Tech students and alumni, gained recognition from Google’s Project Zero after discovering a zero-day vulnerability in SQLite during the DARPA AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) this year. Their AI system, Atlantis, autonomously identified and patched security flaws without human input. Google, inspired by their success, used its own AI tool, Big Sleep, to find and address another SQLite vulnerability.
