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

David Sherrill and Edmond Chow Instruct the IDEaS Summer Skills Workshop
Workshop Participants Learn New Skills at the IDEaS Summer Skills WorkshopMany graduate students in science and engineering are finding scientific computing and data science increasingly important in their research, but they typically have little to no formal training in these areas. To help close this gap, in July and August, IDEaS sponsored a five-week summer skills workshop on Python programming, numerical linear algebra, machine learning, databases, and parallel programming. Over 60 graduate students, postdocs, and faculty members attended the workshop, which featured a series of lectures by Professors Edmond Chow, David Sherrill, Polo Chau, and Ling Liu. Teaching assistants led hands-on coding sessions to reinforce concepts introduced in the lectures, and they demonstrated how to use GitHub for version control and collaborative programming. Students commented that the workshop “introduced many state-of-the-art technologies in a short time,” that it was “very helpful and efficient.”
