Full Story

The Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems

is one of Georgia Tech's ten Interdisciplinary Research Institutes. The vision for the BBISS is to create knowledge and technologies that will improve environmental, social, and economic outcomes. Our approach is to holistically integrate the disciplines of science, engineering, social science, policy, planning, design, and business into the institute’s work. While BBISS's work spans a wide range of research problems, we are particularly focused on the emerging science of Gigatechnology. Gigatechnologies are humanity's largest engineered systems in which we manipulate matter, energy, and information.
