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

Abstract: Highly productive cross-disciplinary collaborations cutting across materials science, manufacturing, product design, computational sciences, and data sciences are critically needed for the success of the emerging national strategic initiatives such as the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) focused on the accelerated development of new/improved advanced materials and their deployment in emerging technologies. In response to these critical national needs, and with the guidance and support of GT’s IMAT (Institute for Materials) and FLAMEL (NSF funded IGERT), we have initiated the development of a Github based e-collaboration platform, whose primary purpose is to facilitate intimate exchange of ideas, data, codes, knowledge, and expertise between potential cross-disciplinary team members engaged in a diverse range of materials innovation efforts at GT. Called MATIN, this e-collaboration platform is aimed at nucleating an emergent community that is particularly adept at injecting customized materials data science and informatics tools into the ongoing materials innovation endeavors at GT in an effort to dramatically enhance their productivity. We will present the current status of this effort and discuss future plans. We are specifically seeking individuals interested in taking on leadership roles in the design, development, and launch of this e-collaboration platform for the entire GT materials research community.
