Students create chemical safety model for everyday exposures
In just one course, Georgia Tech student Diya Godavarti helped develop a tool that could improve workers' responses to chemical spills or open containers. Godavarti, then a second-year chemical and biomolecular engineering (ChBE) student, joined a course on chemical equity focused on reducing chemical exposure in vulnerable communities. The class, part of Georgia Tech's Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program, embeds students in long-term research teams that span disciplines and semesters.
