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

Baris Volkan GursesBaris Volkan Gurses has been named as a recipient of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Undergraduate/Pre-graduate Scholarship. Gurses is a fourth-year undergraduate student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), where he is majoring in electrical engineering.
Since last August, Gurses has worked as a researcher in the Georgia Tech Electronics and Micro-System Lab, which is led by ECE Associate Professor Hua Wang. His research project involves working on a reconfigurable rat-race coupler for mm-wave and sub-THz applications.
As modern wireless communications continuously increase in speed and performance, operating at higher frequencies has become a requirement and a clear trend for all wireless devices and systems. Simultaneously, multi-band high-frequency communications and advancements in adaptive radio gave rise to the implementation of frequency reconfigurability in integrated devices.
Combining the benefits of both high-frequency operation and frequency reconfigurability, Gurses is working on a design methodology to devise frequency-reconfigurable rat-race hybrid couplers in the mm-wave/sub-THz, or >100 GHz, range. This project proves itself to be the first implementation of reconfigurable couplers on silicon at these frequencies. Therefore, the proposed methodology will be a crucial element for the development of future adaptive wireless systems operating at sub-THz frequencies to address beyond-5G/6G challenges.
