HAAG for SocialTech

Open Source Initiative: PACE Documentation

As part of our Open Source Initiative, we are contributing to the development of publicly accessible documentation for the PACE system. Our HAAG researchers actively use PACE resources and are involved in creating high-quality documentation that supports transparency and collaboration. All contributions undergo a rigorous review process before being published on the official PACE website.

Higher Ed

The Higher Ed Unit focuses on how emerging technologies such as generative AI, interactive systems, and intelligent interfaces can improve teaching, learning, and administration in higher education. In collaboration with Georgia Tech’s PACE initiative and other academic partners, we study real-world applications of social technologies in classrooms, student support services, and faculty workflows. Our mission is to design tools that are both research-driven and practically useful, helping educators and students thrive in evolving academic environments.

Industry Initiative

The Industry Initiative connects Georgia Tech student researchers with external organizations to solve real-world challenges in finance, sustainability, health, policy, and more. Through data science and AI-driven collaborations, HAAG partners with companies and institutions to design applied solutions while providing students with hands-on experience in interdisciplinary research. Our mission is to build mutually beneficial partnerships that translate academic knowledge into industry impact, fostering innovation and professional growth.
