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

Brett Wick, School of MathematicsTwo Georgia Tech faculty members have been honored with the Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Dr. Vladimir Tsukruk, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Dr. Brett Wick, School of Mathematics, are recipients of the award.
Tsukruk, who was recently named co-director of Georgia Tech’s Bio-nano-enabled Inorganic/Organic Nanostructures and Improved Cognition (BIONIC) center, will begin his research at the University of Bayreuth in Germany this month. Since 1987, his research has focused on the field of fabrication and structural characterization of molecular films.
Wick received the award in recognition of his research in complex function theory. His 18-month fellowship, based at the University of Paderborn, will begin this spring and continue through 2012. Wick’s research interests focus on problems in analysis of several complex variables, harmonic analysis and operator theory, and specifically the interaction between these subjects.
The Humboldt Foundation grants up to 100 research awards annually in recognition of a researcher's entire achievements to date to academics whose fundamental discoveries, new theories or insights have had a significant impact on their own discipline and who are expected to continue producing cutting-edge achievements in future. Award winners are invited to spend a period of up to one year cooperating on a long-term research project with specialist colleagues at a research institution in Germany.
