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

Santhosh KarnikSanthosh Karnik received the Best Student Paper Award at the 13th International Conference on Sampling Theory and Applications (SampTA), held July 8-12, 2019 in Bordeaux, France.
Karnik is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). He is advised by ECE Associate Professor Mark Davenport, and his research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and Lockheed Martin Corporation.
Karnik received the award for his paper entitled “Fast multitaper spectral estimation," written together with ECE Schlumberger Professor Justin Romberg and Davenport. This paper presents new insight into and a novel algorithm for computing the classical Thompson's multitaper spectral estimate.
For large signal lengths and spectral resolutions, Karnik's fast algorithm enables potential dramatic reductions in the computational cost of computing the multitaper estimate. This algorithm has significant implications for applications in large-scale array signal processing.
