The fellowship includes a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with policy and government experts.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGross works in the LF Radio Lab, where he is advised by ECE Assistant Professor Morris B. Cohen. Gross\u0026rsquo; research focuses on accurately assessing propagation conditions of Very Low Frequency (VLF, 3-30 kHz) radio waves, which can travel many thousands of miles around the world.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThere are both scientific as well as engineering applications of Gross\u0026rsquo; work, including implications to national security like submarine communications and navigation in GPS-denied areas. His work uses a continental-scale network of VLF radio receivers, coupled with machine learning algorithms and theoretical models, to attempt to assess and predict the propagation of any VLF wave across the continent.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGross\u0026rsquo; background includes internships at the Naval Research Laboratory, as well as with a private-sector defense contractor, so he is well positioned to make a security policy contribution through this fellowship and beyond.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ENicholas Gross, a third-year Ph.D. student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), has been selected as a Sam Nunn Security Fellow by the Georgia Tech Center for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Nicholas Gross, a third-year Ph.D. student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), has been selected as a Sam Nunn Security Fellow by the Georgia Tech Center for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy.
