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

Nagi Gebraeel, associate professor in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech, conducts research in the area of detecting and preventing failure in engineering systems as they degrade over time. The goal is to avoid both expensive downtime and unnecessary maintenance costs.
"We could be talking about a fleet of airlines, trucks, trains, ships -- or a manufacturing system," Gebraeel said. "In any of these cases, it's extremely useful for a number of reasons to be able to accurately estimate the remaining useful lifetime of the system or its components."
Watch this short video of Nagi Gebraeel as he discusses his research of complex engineering systems.
