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

Richard McCulloughThe Georgia Tech Polymer Network welcomes Professor Richard McCullough from Harvard University on December 8, 2014. Professor McCullough will present a lecture entitled, “From Discovery to Start-up: A Journey and Status Report on Printable Electronics and Promoting Corporate Partnerships and a Start-up Culture in Universities”.
We are entering the new era of printed electronics where engineered organic electronic materials can be used as printable transistors and solar cells, are critical materials in the future of lighting and displays, and new materials are leading to functional printable metals in 3-D printing. Discoveries made in our lab that have led to the commercialization of university-based research in printable electronics will be presented. Universities are working harder than ever to develop rich innovation ecosystems that promote start-ups and new corporate partnerships. In this talk, I will also present experiences in the building of and success of university innovation ecosystems with examples from Harvard University and Carnegie Mellon University.
