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

Three minutes isn’t a lot of time — especially when you have to distill years of research into a single presentation. But on April 9, that’s exactly what 11 graduate students did during the final round of Georgia Tech’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition.
Saad Javaid, a doctoral student in Materials Science and Engineering, won first place and a research travel grant of $2,000 for his presentation, UltraVision and Time Manipulation: Technology Inspired Superpowers for Studying Cracks.
Additional awards were given to the following students:
Ph.D. Runner-up: Muhammad Saad Zia, Electrical and Computer Engineering
Mitigating Beam Alignment Errors in Millimeter-Wave Communications to Go Beyond 5G
Ph.D. Third Place: Megan McSweeney, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
AptaTrigger: A Novel Biosensor Platform for Point-of-Care Diagnostics
Master’s Winner: Clara Glassman, Medical Physics
Creating the Google Maps of Brain-Behavior Relationships: A New Look at Post Stroke MRIs
People’s Choice Award: Megan McSweeney, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
AptaTrigger: A Novel Biosensor Platform for Point-of-Care Diagnostics
A complete recording of the final round can be found here, and more information about the annual competition is available at grad.gatech.edu/3mt.
