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

No summary paragraph submitted.
SUIN SENIC UndergraduatesIn September 2015 the National Science Foundation (NSF) selected Georgia Tech’s Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN) a member site of the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) program. Comprised of 16 sites, located in 15 states and involving 27 universities, NNCI provides researchers from academia, government and companies with access to university user facilities.
As a member of the NNCI program, the Georgia Institute of Technology formed a collaboration with the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, an academic collaboration between North Carolina A&T State University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, to form the Southeastern Nanotechnology Infrastructure Corridor (SENIC) and provide SE region users with leading-edge fabrication and characterization tools, instrumentation and expertise within all disciplines of nanoscale science, engineering and technology.
SUIN (SENIC Undergraduate Internship in Nanotechnology) is a major component of the SENIC program and focuses on providing undergraduates in engineering the chance to spend a summer conducting research in a world-class collaborative lab with prominent Georgia Tech researchers. GT-IEN hosted 6 undergraduates from various U.S. colleges over the summer that engaged in hands-on research in a number of fields of nanotechnology. At the conclusion of the program, the students had the opportunity to present their findings at the SURE Research Symposium on July the 28th, 2016.
Over the months of the Fall Semester we will be highlighting each of the six REU participants, their research topics and experience in the labs, as well as what they gained from the program and their time at Georgia Tech, and in Atlanta.
