The latest episode of the Georgia Tech Research Podcast features two current research assistants discussing the Military Graduate Research Program (MGRP).

The MGRP is a key component of GTRI's Intelligent Sustainable Technology Division (ISTD). The MGRP provides opportunities for U.S. military personnel to conduct part-time research at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) while obtaining a STEM graduate degree at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Military personnel perform state-of-the-art research as a Military Graduate Research Assistant (MGRA) working alongside full-time GTRI Research Faculty. Currently, ISTD has two military graduate research assistants (MGRAs) who are part of MGRP.

In this episode, we hear from Lieutenant Kelly Bowers of the United States Navy and Second Lieutenant Margaret Warner of the United States Air Force. They discuss how they selected their branch of service, how they came to be MGRAs at GTRI, and some of their conducted research at ISTD.
