They say dreams don’t work unless you do — and Georgia Tech students know that better than anyone. Amin Haider, a Professional Master’s in Manufacturing Leadership (PMML) alumnus, put in the work for two years alongside his cohort and saw the payoff even before graduating.

“From dreaming of Georgia Tech to making it my reality, this journey has been a wild ride. The PMML program provided a flexible format that fit my schedule while offering a new perspective on leadership. The curriculum strengthened my skills in research and data analysis, allowing me to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios.”

Political assassinations as a tool to influence foreign affairs are not new. However, modern conflicts show that driving long-term change requires more than eliminating the power of a single individual — it demands a deeper understanding of international dynamics and how power shifts within a nation.

Brian O’Neill, professor of the practice in The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Tech, notes that targeted assassinations can disrupt operations, degrade organizational effectiveness, and, in some cases, lead to capitulation.

However, O’Neill also references the work of Jenna Jordan, MS in International Security Online instructor, associate professor and associate chair in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs. Her research highlights the often inflated expectations of such strikes, finding that older, larger, and more institutionalized organizations are far more resilient to leadership removal.

While so-called “leadership decapitation” may create pathways for coercion, negotiation, or even popular uprising, modern assassinations more often fuel hostility and prolong conflict rather than create clear routes for change.

When patient care is the top priority, hospital systems must remain continuously operational, and many hospitals rely on legacy devices; vulnerability remediation becomes difficult to keep up with, leaving systems exposed to cyberattacks.

Georgia Tech expert Brendan Saltaformaggio and his team of researchers have partnered with three Georgia hospitals to better understand healthcare cybersecurity gaps and develop tools to quickly identify and remediate system vulnerabilities.

However, testing directly on live hospital networks could put critical systems — and patient care — at risk. To address this challenge, Saltaformaggio, an associate professor in the OMS Cybersecurity program, and the Hospital-Integrated Vulnerability Identification and Proactive Remediation (H‑VIPER) team have dedicated the first phase of this estimated three-year project to building a “sandbox" or full hospital network simulation. This environment allows researchers to explore vulnerabilities and test solutions without disrupting clinical operations.

This federally funded project aims to uncover new approaches to vulnerability management that can ultimately be deployed in real hospital networks — without interfering with patient care.

China’s thriving commercial satellite imaging industry is closing the gap with the United States, and it’s not all about scale. With over 400 satellites in orbit, China can produce high-resolution images capable of tracking car-sized objects from space. The sale of this technology to foreign military groups, combined with its image resolution and nearly real-time target analysis, is raising concerns among governments seeking to protect their military sites.

Lincoln Hines, who teaches the Technology and Statecraft course in the Georgia Tech MSISEC, Online program, told The Wire China that private satellite sales can “escalate threat perceptions and security perceptions at the government level,” increasing worries about secrecy and escalation risks.

Georgia Tech now has a playground for AI developers, and it was the brainchild of Aaron Stebner, the academic director of the Professional Master’s in Manufacturing Leadership (PMML) program.

The 60,000-square-foot facility gives professionals across academia, industry, and government a place to experiment, test, and refine AI-driven systems.

Through partnerships with the Technical College System of Georgia, students across the state can also access the lab to build hands-on AI skills.

From laser welding systems learning to 3D print to autonomous vehicles, this space is poised to play a key role in Georgia’s manufacturing future — and the continued growth of AI innovation.
