About PIVOT
PIVOT (Physics Infused Vision for Onward Thinking) is a student-led organization at Virginia Tech that brings together minds from diverse academic backgrounds to tackle real-world challenges through physics-driven innovation.
Our interdisciplinary approach combines theoretical physics with practical engineering, creating solutions that are both scientifically sound and practically viable. We believe that the principles of physics can unlock new possibilities in every field.
Founded by passionate students who wanted to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application, PIVOT has grown into a thriving community of innovators, researchers, and problem-solvers.
