The Woodruff School offers a rigorous graduate program designed for students with engineering, mechanics, mathematics, or science backgrounds, culminating in a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. While most courses are elective, each study plan must fulfill the School's standards for breadth, depth, and academic rigor.
Medical physics is an emerging field that applies physical principles—primarily involving ionizing radiation—to medical diagnostics and treatment. Georgia Tech currently focuses on five key research areas: innovative radiation therapy methods, advanced diagnostic imaging, computational medical dosimetry, enhanced radiotherapy planning techniques, and radiation safety at medical accelerator sites.
Cutting-edge radiation therapy research explores neutron brachytherapy with 252Cf, neutron capture therapy, gold nanoparticle-targeted treatments, and biophysical models of radiation's cellular effects.
Diagnostic imaging advancements focus on refining SPECT and PET reconstruction algorithms, alongside developing novel noninvasive MRI methodologies.
