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

Ana Huamán has “sweated blood” to be where she is today. The Georgia Tech robotics Ph.D. student grew up with little access to computers or Internet in her native Peru. As an undergraduate, she engaged in a massive student-led strike and near-daily battles for pertinent library books to complete her studies -- all to realize her dream of creating robots that will help those who need it most.
