Top industry applications

Halo’s AI pipeline combines publication data and faculty input to determine the industry applications with greatest concentration of publishing faculty. It then surfaces those with the strongest industry collaboration evidence.
Medicine
Medical diagnostics
Georgia Tech is developing portable diagnostic platforms—from electrical immunoassays to smartphone spectrometers—that enable rapid, low-cost detection of tuberculosis, COVID-19, and cancer biomarkers at the point of care. Complementing these devices, AI-driven computational pathology, radiomics, and wearable ECG analytics turn raw clinical data into actionable predictions for cardiovascular risk, immunotherapy response, and neurodegenerative disease. Together, this convergence of hardware and intelligent software targets major commercial opportunities in decentralized testing, remote patient monitoring, and precision medicine.
Industrial materials
Electronic materials
Georgia Tech researchers are developing ferroelectric memory devices, 3D-integrated CMOS, and glass-interposer packaging to solve the memory-wall and thermal bottlenecks limiting AI and high-performance processors. They are also pioneering scalable printed and flexible electronics—from paper-based microcircuits to additively manufactured 5G/mm-wave components—that lower costs for IoT and wearable markets. These hardware advances are supported by engineered high-κ dielectrics, wide-bandgap semiconductors, and thermally conductive polymer composites that enhance reliability and efficiency in advanced RF, power, and packaging applications.
Medicine
Pharmaceuticals and drug delivery
Georgia Tech researchers engineer lipid nanoparticles, microneedle patches, and oral biologics platforms that advance non-invasive delivery of mRNA, antibodies, and protein drugs with enhanced tissue targeting. These efforts are paired with point-of-care biosensors, scalable cell-therapy manufacturing tools, and stimuli-responsive nanomaterials that meet industry demands for patient-friendly administration, reduced cold-chain dependence, and faster clinical translation of personalized medicines.
Energy & natural resources
Energy storage systems
Georgia Tech scientists are developing solid-state lithium and zinc-ion batteries with dendrite-suppressing interfaces and fast-charging niobium oxide anodes to power wearables and electric mobility. They are also advancing salt-hydrate thermochemical storage and high-temperature particle media to capture and dispatch solar thermal energy for buildings and grid applications. Complemented by AI-driven optimization of long-duration battery siting and solar-plus-storage integration, the research targets commercial scalability across portable electronics, renewable power, and next-generation mobility.
Digital & computing technologies
Artificial intelligence & machine learning
Georgia Tech researchers are optimizing AI from silicon to systems, delivering direct Apple Neural Engine toolchains, 3D memory accelerators for mixture-of-experts models, and chunked-prefill strategies that slash large language model serving costs. Their applied work translates these efficiencies into vertical solutions—including real-time cardiac event detection from ECGs, vision-language robotic controllers, and AI tutors that diagnose student knowledge gaps—to serve healthcare, automation, and education markets. By combining hardware-software co-design with safeguards against model theft and hallucinations, the research meets industry demand for scalable, trustworthy AI infrastructure.
Digital & computing technologies
Network & communication technologies
Georgia Tech engineers are advancing next-generation connectivity through O-RAN architectures, 5G/6G millimeter-wave antenna arrays, and LEO satellite networks to expand capacity and coverage for telecom and defense markets. The institute also hardens global Internet infrastructure with BGP hijack detection and IPv6 mapping tools that reduce outages and cyber risks for service providers. Complementing this, researchers develop energy-efficient IoT platforms—including passive millimeter-wave sensors and underwater optical links—for scalable smart-city and industrial sensing.
Digital & computing technologies
Cybersecurity & data protection
Georgia Tech researchers develop voice-fraud and deepfake detection, malware and threat analytics, and adversarial-ML defenses that harden AI systems and financial, telecom, and enterprise networks against evolving attacks. This work has produced a run of commercial exits — Pindrop (phone-fraud detection, $232M+ raised), Damballa (acquired by Core Security), and Purewire (acquired by Barracuda) — alongside an Intel-funded machine-learning cybersecurity center and a research partnership with Resecurity. For partners in banking, telecom, and cloud services, these teams offer direct access to production-grade detection technology and live threat intelligence.
Aerospace & defense
Satellite and space technologies
Georgia Tech and its Georgia Tech Research Institute design, integrate, and flight-test small satellites and CubeSats, spanning space-domain awareness, green propulsion, and on-orbit systems for civil and defense missions. GTRI assembled, integrated, and tested NASA's Lunar Flashlight spacecraft in-house and partners with the U.S. Space Force and NASA on programs including the OrCa2 calibration satellite and a green-propulsion CubeSat launching in 2026. As a longstanding Department of Defense University Affiliated Research Center, GTRI gives agency and aerospace partners a proven path from prototype to flight hardware.
