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

Svetlana Jitomirskaya, a Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Irvine who in Fall 2022 will be the inaugural Hubbard Chair Professor in the School of Mathematics, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the world’s most respected scientific organizations. Jitomirskaya joins Mark Hay, Regents Professor and Teasley Chair in Environmental Biology in the School of Biological Sciences, as a Georgia Tech researcher elected to the NAS during the current cohort. Jitomirskaya is the recipient of the 2020 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics and the 2005 Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize from the American Mathematical Society. After her retirement from a 28-year career at Kennesaw State University, Elaine M. Hubbard, Ph.D. MATH 1972, established the Elaine M. Hubbard Endowed Chair in the School of Mathematics, the School’s first endowed faculty chair. This fund serves to support robust, leading-edge mathematics education and research at Georgia Tech.
