Meet CSE Profile: Grace Driskill

Grace Driskill made Georgia Tech history when she arrived on campus in 2023. She is the first student-athlete to study computational science and engineering (CSE). While this is a notable benchmark, Driskill’s achievements on the track and in the classroom defined her career at Georgia Tech.

As a competitive runner, Driskill holds the fourth-fastest 3000-meter time in the history of Georgia Tech’s women's indoor track program. Off the track, Driskill is a three-time All-ACC Academic team honoree on the women’s cross-country and track teams, and in 2024, she received the College of Computing’s Donald V. Jackson Fellowship.

We caught up with Driskill to learn more about her and how she balances academic and athletic responsibilities.
