The COVID-19 pandemic continued into 2022, and we began the year with a virtual General Membership meeting in January. At the end of our board meeting, Dr. Alexis Noel, a Research Engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute Aerospace, Transportation and Advanced Systems Laboratory, spoke to us about her research in biomimicry and haptic feedback technologies, which involve being able to interact with objects in virtual reality.

Thanks from Scholar Kira Newman
"I can only begin to express how grateful I am for the freedom to pursue an independent line of research without having to worry about how I will pay for the necessary lab supplies or training. This award is allowing me to answer broader and more valuable questions than I had previously thought possible... Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential as a scientist."
Thanks from Alum Tim Sampson, Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech
I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!
Thanks from Alum Alejandro Toriella, PhD, Assistant Professor, Industrial Engineering, Georgia Tech
Thank you very much for your support. It meant a lot. I had the opportunity to return to Tech as a faculty member last year. I’m very happy to be back and hope I can advise a future ARCS scholar soon!
