For Chaouki Abdallah, the Institute’s vision statement serves as a daily directive: Georgia Tech will define the technological research university of the 21st century. While his own research and courses in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering focus on control and communications systems, Abdallah’s role on the Executive Leadership Team charges him with oversight of Tech’s complete research program, which reached $1 billion in new grants, contracts and other awards in fiscal year 2019. This IEEE Millennium Medal recipient is now front and center on Tech’s most ambitious projects, from its highly successful commericialization efforts to the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI)—which serves an increasingly vital role for national security—to the research being conducted at the cutting-edge, $355 million new Coda building on Tech Square.
