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

Nano@Tech Meeting with Dr. Leskey Mduduzi Cele (Tshwane University of Technology in South Africa) presenting, "Nanotechnology in South Africa".
**RSVP is appreciated.
Abstract:
This talk will be an overview of nanotechnology activities in South Africa, including discussion of the development of nanotechnology in the country, with detail on research at the Tshwane University of Technology.
Bio:
Leskey Mduduzi Cele obtained a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Johannesburg. The work was on the synthesis of CNTs by nebulised spray pyrolysis and the use of the CNTs as supports in catalysis. He was a senior lecturer at the University of Johannesburg for 111 years and is currently employed in a similar position at the Tshwane University of Technology. His duties include undergraduate classes as well as the supervision of nanotechnology-related research projects. Dr. Cele chairs the South African Nanotechnology Initiative (SANi), the main stakeholder group in nanotechnology in the country.
