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

Full Summary:
ECE Ph.D. student Zachary Fleetwood has received the 2016 IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) Graduate Scholarship Award.
Zachary FleetwoodZachary Fleetwood has received the 2016 IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) Graduate Scholarship Award. Fleetwood is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and is advised by John Cressler, the Schlumberger Chair Professor in Electronics.
Fleetwood received this award for his research contributions in the field of radiation effects in silicon-germanium (SiGe) microelectronic technologies. His Ph.D. research focuses on correlating fundamental damage mechanisms between highly-energetic particles like space radiation and state-of-the-art laser systems which provide spatial resolution that is impossible to achieve with traditional particle accelerators. His work incorporates advanced modeling techniques that help researchers and scientists to better develop radiation-hardening methods to aid future space missions.
Fleetwood’s research is supported by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and collaborators at the Naval Research Laboratory.
