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

Adrian Ildefonso has been awarded the 2015 National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship. NSF provides fellowships to individuals selected early in their graduate careers based on their demonstrated potential for significant achievements in science and engineering.
Ildefonso is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and is advised by John Cressler, who is the Schlumberger Chair Professor in Electronics.
Ildefonso’s fellowship proposal, “System-Level Characterization of Single Event Transients in RF Systems,” aims to study the propagation of transient radiation effects within radar systems intended for extreme environment applications. Results from this study will allow engineers to identify and correct possible weaknesses in a system that would not be observed by studying individual circuit blocks.
