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

Six College of Engineering faculty members are among the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s 160 early career researchers who will receive five years of funding to explore new areas of research. 

The Georgia Tech researchers are:

  • Chloé Arson, assistant professor, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering
  • Asegun Henry, assistant professor, George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering
  • Jonathan Rogers, assistant professor, George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering
  • Phanish Suryanarayana, assistant professor, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering
  • Alejandro Toriello, assistant professor, H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial & Systems Engineering
  • Shuman Xia, assistant professor, George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering 

The financial support for the awards comes from the NSF’s Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program. 

Begun in 1995, the CAREER program provides promising junior faculty the opportunity to pursue outstanding research, excellence in teaching, and the integration of education and research.

Each CAREER award provides a minimum of $500,000 over
five years. This year’s Georgia Tech CAREER awards total approximately $80 million, out of an estimated $226 million for the NSF program overall.
