First-year BME Ph.D. student Ignacio Montoya is seen here walking in a self-balancing exoskeleton, an apparatus that recently earned first place at the College of Engineering’s FAIR Tech Student Innovation Competition. Thirteen years ago, Georgia Tech was the last place Ignacio walked before his spinal cord injury. Today, he’s back, redefining what is possible. Ignacio’s research and passion focus on shifting the physiatric paradigm from passive care to active participation, helping prevent long-term health decline caused by inactivity. | Learn more about Ignacio: c.gatech.edu/4wcfZ14 #WeCanDoThat
