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

Twelve new RBI PSE Fellowships have been awarded for fiscal year 2015. They were selected from among 30 applications. The awards will fund work from 17 faculty representing three engineering schools (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering) through up to four years of graduate student fellowship support. Four of the faculty are new entrants to the PSE program, reflecting continued progress in broadening our engagement and visibility on campus. Half of the fellowships are in operational excellence, of which three are in cost reduction and three in product development; three are in biorefining; and three are in new materials, all nanocellulose.
