Five teams were awarded micro-grants in the Fall of 2021 (of $50 to $500) for conducting research in the topical areas of regenerative design and operations. On Thursday, March 3rd, each team will give a 10-minute presentation, answer questions, and share thoughts about future research. This event is being held in conjunction with the 2022 SDG Action and Awareness Week at Georgia Tech.

The presenting teams are:

  • Recognizing and Removing Invasive Plant Species Through Computer Vision and Deep Learning; Athena Verghis and Rishi Pathak – CEE Undergrads
  • Quantifying the Per-capita Single-use Waste Impact from Food and Beverage in GT Campus; Purna Pratiti Saha - ISyE Undergrad
  • Monitoring Biodiversity in the EcoCommons; Akhil Chavan and Lalith Polepeddi - Research Scientists, Global Change Program
  • Edible Campus: A Model for Georgia Tech; Elliot Hodge - CHEM Undergrad
  • BBUGS Pollinator Garden; Brooke Rothschild-Mancinelli, Rebecca Guth-Metzler, Katherine Nguyen, Aaron Silva Trenkle, and Michelle Wong – IBB Graduate Students

The Kendeda Micro-Grants Research Program was conceived and launched in 2021 to:

  • Expand scientific thinking and the understanding of the research process amongst those not (yet) directly involved in scientific research;
  • Bolster the use of the campus as a living laboratory;
  • Give voice to people and communities outside of research that have culturally novel perspectives on problems and their possible solutions, and to create new pathways for partnering with them; and
  • Seed novel ideas and nurture nascent investigators.
