  <title><![CDATA[Researchers Receive $1.7 Million Grant to Build Robot for Sub-surface Soil Exploration]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>An interdisciplinary research group from Georgia Tech has received a grant from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nsf.gov/" target="_blank">National Science Foundation</a>&nbsp;to design an advanced self-propelled robot to explore the subsurface and record a range of signals as it advances.</p>

<p>The project is led by principal investigator Chlo&eacute; Arson, an associate professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The research team includes faculty from across the Institute, including fellow Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor David Frost, Associate Professor Polo Chau from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cse.gatech.edu/" target="_blank">School of Computational Science and Engineering</a>, Professor Daniel Goldman from the&nbsp;<a href="https://physics.gatech.edu/" target="_blank">School of Physics&nbsp;</a>and Assistant Professor Frank Hammond from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.me.gatech.edu/" target="_blank">George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering</a>.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
