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:
Christine Payne, PhD, honored with a 2011 DARPA Young Faculty Award
Christine Payne, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Chemistry & BiochemistryChristine Payne, PhD, assistant professor in Georgia Tech's School of Chemistry & Biochemistry, is honored with the 2011 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Young Faculty Award (YFA) for her project entitled, "Intracellular Synthesis of Conducting Polymer Nanowires for Electrical Stimulation and Sensing,” which will use cells to generate nanowires.
The objective of the DARPA YFA program is to identify and engage rising research stars in junior faculty positions at U.S. academic institutions and expose them to Department of Defense needs as well as DARPA’s program development.
The YFA program provides funding, mentoring, and industry and DoD contacts to awardees early in their careers so they may develop their research ideas in the context of DoD needs. The program focuses on untenured faculty, emphasizing those without prior DARPA funding. The long-term goal of the YFA program is to develop the next generation of academic scientists, engineers and mathematicians in key disciplines who will focus a significant portion of their career on DoD and national security issues.
