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

Full Summary:
Jordan Greenlee wins the 2011 National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship.
Jordan GreenleeJordan Greenlee has won the 2011 National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, chosen from over 2,900 applications that were submitted this year. Mr. Greenlee is a Ph.D. student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Tech and works in the Advanced Semiconductor Technology Facility.
Advised by ECE Associate Professor W. Alan Doolittle, Mr. Greenlee's research interests include the fabrication, characterization, and numerical modeling of lithium-based memristors. A memristor is a resistor whose resistance depends on previous input to the device and emulates the synapses in the brain. The development of lithium-based memristors could ultimately usher in a new era of devices that compute similarly to the brain.
Administered by the American Society for Engineering Education, the NDSEG Fellowship is sponsored and funded by the Department of Defense (DoD). NDSEG selections are made by the Air Force Research Laboratory/Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Office of Naval Research, the Army Research Office, and the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program Office.
