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:
Nine ECE students receive awards in the Georgia Tech Research & Innovation Conference (GTRIC) Innovation Competition, including one who takes top honors.
Elnaz Banan Sadeghian and Keith McGreggor
Elnaz Banan SadeghianECE Ph.D. student Elnaz Banan Sadeghian won the Edison Prize in the Georgia Tech Research & Innovation Conference (GTRIC) Innovation Competition, held on March 13, 2014. Sadeghian is the first woman to receive the top prize in the competition.
The Georgia Tech Research & Innovation Conference (GTRIC) is a yearly event that captures and exhibits the cutting-edge scientific and technological research conducted by graduate students here at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Graduate students from all disciplines participate to give their research Institute-wide exposure and compete for travel awards and scholarship prizes.
Sadeghian's presentation was titled “Detector for Two-Dimensional Magnetic Recording.” Her research involves synchronization and detection for two-dimensional magnetic recording, a new technology for super high density data storage. A key challenge for this technology is the development of signal processing strategies of manageable complexity that are able to effectively mitigate the two-dimensional interference inherent in the problem. She has developed a detector that can recover all data tracks requiring low signal-to-noise ratio.
The following ECE students also received honors in the competition:
