Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology

To uncover the brain’s vast mysteries, a new era of technological advances must evolve to understand molecular, cellular, systems and cognitive neurosciences in ways never done before. This will require unique training approaches for a new workforce of highly skilled scientists who can lead neuroscience in this new era. The Ph.D. program in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology at Georgia Tech will provide students with advanced levels of training in neuroscience in relation to the development of technological solutions to problems affecting human health.

Neuroscience is an inherently interdisciplinary field, and this program will connect fields of study across campus: engineering (mechanical, chemical, electrical, and biomedical), sciences (biological, psychology, physics, chemistry), and computing (AI, machine learning) . The core curriculum will integrate scientific, technical, and quantitative approaches in neurosciences and neurotechnology. This will be achieved by through a sequence of required courses that allow students to better understand the technical aspects of scientific discoveries and apply newly understood concepts to their own research programs, which will have the potential to transform human health and improve society.
