Our research laboratories

GTRI is headquartered on the Georgia Tech campus in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. Our customers’ toughest engineering problems are solved in seven dynamic research laboratories found on and off the main campus, 12 field offices located around the nation and our newest location in Athlone, Ireland.

Aerospace, Transportation and Advanced Systems Laboratory (ATAS)

ATAS develops advanced systems concepts and performs research on technologies related to aerospace, transportation, power and energy, threat systems, food processing and system sustainability.

Electronic Systems Laboratory (ELSYS)

ELSYS focuses on systems engineering solutions in the areas of electronic defense and human systems integration. ELSYS researchers are nationally recognized for their contributions to national defense in countermeasures technique development.

Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory (EOSL)

EOSL conducts research in broad areas in electro-optical systems. The lab also performs applied research in the growth and application of carbon nanotubes, multifunctional materials, RFID and optical tagging, chem-bio sensors

Huntsville Research Laboratory (HRL)

HRL conducts world-class applied research for several government agencies located at the U.S. Army Redstone Arsenal and local Huntsville area.

Information Technology and Telecommunications Laboratory (ITTL)

ITTL conducts a broad range of research in areas of computer science and information technology, communications and networking. The lab develops commercial products from university research.

Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory (SEAL)

SEAL researchers investigate and develop radio frequency sensor systems, with particular emphasis on radar systems, electromagnetic environmental effects, radar system performance modeling and simulations, signal and array processing, and antenna technology.

Signature Technology Laboratory (STL)

STL’s main focus is the development of technologies for the management and control of multispectral signatures of objects under observation by sophisticated sensor systems.
