There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary:
ECE Assistant Professor Ying Zhang has received an NSF CAREER Award to support her research project, "Adaptive Power Management for Supercapacitor-Operated Sustainable Wireless Sensor Networks."
Ying ZhangYing Zhang has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award to support her research project, "Adaptive Power Management for Supercapacitor-Operated Sustainable Wireless Sensor Networks." Dr. Zhang is an assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Tech and specializes in the areas of systems and controls and digital signal processing.
The objective of her work is to investigate how supercapacitor (SC) device characteristics affect power management policies and to establish the theoretical foundation and applied framework of adaptive power management for SC-powered wireless sensor networks (WSNs).
The results of Dr. Zhang's CAREER research will significantly extend the lifetime of self-powered WSNs and lead to maintenance-free WSNs that can exist for decades on weak ambient energy and provide sustainable services required by many important long-life applications. In addition, the SC model and power management framework can have an impact on other portable embedded electronics.
