Welcome to the homepage of the Energy, Sustainability and Natural Systems group at the Georgia Tech School of Industrial and Systems Engineering. Research areas include biomimicry, the impacts of globalization, recycling and reverse production, the environmental impacts of products and manufacturing systems, and energy efficiency for freight transport. ISYE faculty collaborate broadly with faculty from other schools at Georgia Tech, especially through ECDM, ECLIPs and the Center for Biologically Inspired Design.

PhD students in Sustainability and Natural Systems may take their comprehensive examination in any of the ISYE tracks, typically Logistics or Economic Decision Analysis.
