*********************************
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

Speaker:
Perry Ellis, First-year FLAMEL trainee
Title:
“Extracting Physics from Large Confocal Datasets: Defects on a Torus”
Bio:
Perry is a Ph.D. student in the School of Physics at Georgia Tech working under Professor Alberto Fernandez-Nieves. His research uses experiment and simulation to examine the interplay between ordered materials such as liquid crystals and the constraints imposed by the geometry of the confining volume. Perry hopes to use the tools provided by the FLAMEL program to develop applications and new materials using the insights gained from his fundamental research.
Perry received his B.S. in Physics from Harvey Mudd College in 2011. In his free time he enjoys climbing rocks and being outside.
*This will conclude the spring seminar series.
