Robert BraunThe Center for Science, Technology, And Research (C-STAR) is one of seven newly created Interdisciplinary Research Centers (IRCs) recently named by the Executive Vice President for Research.
Like the larger, more established Interdisciplinary Research Institutes (IRIs), the IRCs will bring together researchers from different disciplines to address topics of strategic importance to Georgia Tech.
C-STAR was designated as a Type II IRC.
Established in 2013 under the direction of GT-AE professor Robert Braun, C-STAR has focused faculty from several disciplines on space-related research and the growth of Georgia's space industry. The Center is actively engaged in partnerships with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Georgia Department of Economic Development Center of Innovation for Aerospace, and the Georgia Space Grant Consortium.
The IRI's will continue to articulate Georgia Tech's strategic research priorities, addressing broad societal challenges. The seven newly created IRCs will join Centers in playing a more active role in leading specific teams and responses.
In addition to C-STAR, the EVPR named the following entities as IRC's:
Type I
Type II
