Welcome to GEDC, The Center for Electronics and Photonics at Georgia Tech.

Nano-systems are the key technological innovation required for solving real-world problems that impact life on Earth. Nanophotonic and nanoelectronic technologies enable efficient high-speed information transport to enhance everyone’s lives through a variety of applications, including Communications, Sensors, Artificial Intelligence, and Defense.

The GEDC is a cross-disciplinary center within Georgia Tech focused on the development of advanced nanophotonic and nanoelectronic systems, using AI-enhanced design tools, innovative components and architectures, and novel technologies. The primary area of focus of GEDC is the intersection of Electromagnetics, RF devices and circuits, Photonics, and Machine Learning/Signal Processing. Examples include SiGe/Si heterojunction devices and circuits, Si-based photonics, RF circuits, RF MEMS resonators and sensors, mm-Wave on-chip antennas, THz channel measurements, and RF energy harvesting. Our graduates become scientists, engineers, professors, and entrepreneurs, working in academia, industry, and governments around the world.

The primary mission includes the rapid transition of GEDC innovations to deployed systems by the creation of strong industrial partnerships and consortia. The GEDC has a long history of working with semiconductor foundries with unique access to sophisticated to leading-edge electronic and photonics design platforms.
