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

Will Wahby has received the esteemed Intel Foundation/SRC Education Alliance Graduate Fellowship. Wahby is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), where he works in the Integrated 3D Systems Research Group and is advised by ECE Associate Professor Muhannad Bakir.
Wahby’s research focuses on the optimal design of 3D integrated circuits (3DICs), which are attractive due to their potential to reduce energy and improve performance of silicon nanoelectronic computing systems. To address this need, he is developing an integrated virtual design platform to explore the optimal design of 3D systems. The design platform simultaneously simulates the electrical performance, power consumption, and thermal profile of a 3DIC. This platform will enable designers to quickly compare the impact of emerging transistor technologies, wiring materials, and integration/packaging technologies on the power and performance of the next generation of nanoelectronic computing systems.
