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

Taha AyariTaha Ayari won the Young Scientist Award at the 2018 European Materials Research Society Meeting, held June 18-22 in Strasbourg, France. Based at Georgia Tech-Lorraine (GT-L), Ayari is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and is advised by Abdallah Ougazzaden, an ECE professor and GT-L director.
Ayari was recognized for his paper, “Van der Waal Epitaxy investigation of GaN-based materials on 2D h-BN by MOVPE for high performance opto-electronic devices.” This work is devoted to a Metalorganic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) growth study of GaN-based materials on 2D h-BN. Supported by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (the French equivalent of the National Science Foundation in the United States), this project aims to demonstrate high performance nitride-based flexible optoelectronics that can be used in LEDs, solar cells, and high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs). This research would also have direct applications in flexible displays, wearable sensors, and InGaN-based tandem solar cells.
Ayari’s coauthors on the paper were Ougazzaden; Suresh Sundaram and Jean Paul Salvestrini, of GT-L and GT-CNRS UMI 2958, a lab focusing on research in non-linear optics and dynamics, smart materials, and computer science; Saiful Alam and Paul Voss, of the School of ECE at Georgia Tech and GT-CNRS UMI 2958; Adama Mballo and Yacine Halfaya, of GT-CNRS UMI 2958; and Simon Gautier, of Institut Lafayette, an organization promoting technology transfer from GT-L research labs and transatlantic industrial research and development opportunities in the optoelectronics sector.
