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

Sponsored by the Institute for Materials (IMat)
Organized and led by Naresh Thadhani (MSE) and Min Zhou (ME)
Purpose: DTRA has released its BAA HDTRA1-19-S-0003 for a Materials Science in Extreme Environments University Research Alliance. Please see details in the attached Addendum.
Source: The full MSEE-URA draft BAA is available at www.grants.gov under number “19-S-0003-MSEE-URA.”
To support assembly of the strongest possible team addressing the various required aspects of this proposal in the four interrelated Research Areas (RAs), this workshop will facilitate sharing of research interests and leadership pertaining to these RAs to support configuration of a successful MSEE-URA pre-proposal.
The four RAs will each have to be led by a different university. Although GT faculty can participate in all four, GT can lead one RA and be the overall URA lead institution. So, we will discuss prospects for overall leadership and potential partnering as well, both in presentations and discussion.
In addition to these four RAs, the area of Modeling and Diagnostics has been identified as a Cross Cutting Research Initiative (CCRI) that is inherent in each of the RAs and that must be jointly studied with the RAs to make fundamental advances in MSEE-URA.
We are inviting 10 minute, five slide presentations from faculty interested in contributing to these RAs, as well as the areas of modeling and diagnostics. We also plan to leave ample time for overall discussion to facilitate teaming alignment, concept refinement, and discussion regarding formation of RA efforts.
Post-Workshop Plans will be discussed at the workshop.
Registration for this workshop may be found at this link.
