Charged Magazine Meeting 1/22

- Are you tired of all of the trivial junk out there on there internet?
- Do you wish that scientists, engineers and mathematicians explained what they studied in a way you actually WANTED to read?
- Do you love science, technology, engineering and math but are also a creative person who likes to think about music, entertainment, politics, fashion, literature or art?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions and want to be a part of a creative science writing community, read on....

CHARGED (www.chargedmagazine.org) is an "anything goes" online magazine about how science and studying science (and math and engineering) affects people. We are currently looking for volunteer students, faculty, and (and non-GT people!) from ALL MAJORS AND DEPARTMENTS who want to contribute to writing, editing, promoting and maintaining this site.  Articles and posts can be about anything related to science, math and engineering as long as they are NOT BORING.  If you are ready to to contribute to an edgy, irreverent version of what makes all Techies tick, come to the organizational meeting 

THURSDAY, JANUARY 22 at 11am in room 323 CULC

or contact jennifer.leavey@cos.gatech.edu

See you Thursday!!!

Undergraduate Research for Spring 2015

Dr. CP Wong's group is recruiting undergrads for electronic packaging and energy materials projects. If interested, please email chiachituan@gatech.edu and bsong5@gatech.edu with a resume and a brief description of yourself and area(s) of interest. The positions are for credit (2-3 hours of undergrad research), and are to begin in spring 2015.

Underfills for advanced IC packaging
In IC packages, polymer-based underfill materials are used to redistribute the thermal mechanical stresses in the interconnects. As package sizes shrink, new underfilling schemes are developed, which brings about new processing and material challenges, such as the issue of filler trapping in no-flow underfills. In the processing aspect, we will span a range of processing parameters for condition optimization, and in the materials aspect, we will develop underfill formulations that satisfy requirements posed by interconnect bonding conditions and package reliability considerations. This project involves chemical modification, composite formulation, curing kinetics, rheology, and superhydrophobic surfaces.

Encapsulant for high brightness LED packaging
In LED packages, the sharp contrast between the refractive indices of the chip and air causes much internal reflection and light trapping in the package, which in turn leads to heat dissipation and reduced device lifetime. We are developing a silicone-based encapsulant material with intermediate refractive index to increase light extraction from the package. This project involves nanoparticle synthesis, chemical modification, composite formulation, and optical characterizations.

In addition to the projects described above, we're also recruiting undergrad researchers to work on energy storage materials and perovskite solar cells.

GT International Ambassadors

Hello Future Leaders,

Are you looking for something to set you apart from your peers?

If so, mark your calendars for our second info session event happening Thursday, August 28 from 6pm- 7pm in Student Center - Crescent Room. 

Founded by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in December 2012, Georgia Tech International Ambassadors is an organization whose purpose is to promote the opportunities at Georgia Tech to international students around the world with the hope that they will choose to attend GT and then make a successful transition to campus. Our three primary aims are:

·      To promote an accurate and holistic view of the Institute around the world, especially in areas not reached by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions;

·      To provide resources and relationships that will bolster the transition to Georgia Tech for incoming students

·      To recruit and train current international students to represent Georgia Tech well
Please check out the flier for more details:

GTIA Executive Board

2014 Herty Medalist Undergraduate Research Symposium

On September 5th from 1 - 5 pm in the afternoon, the Department of Chemistry at Morehouse College & the Georgia Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) will once again come together to present the 9th Annual Herty Medal Undergraduate Research Symposium (HMURS).  As you may remember from previous years, the Herty Medal is awarded annually by the Georgia Local Section to give public recognition to the work and service of outstanding chemists who have significantly contributed to their chosen fields.  This year's recipient is Dr. Luigi G. Marzilli, William White Tison Professor of Chemistry and Chair, Department of Chemistry at Louisiana State University.  As in years past, Morehouse College is again proud to host this event, specific details about which are available online at:

http://www.morehouse.edu/hmurs

(NOTE: You may need to refresh your browser once connected)

As both chair and a member of the planning committee for this annual event, I am writing to you to invite you to this event as well as to ask that you forward/announce this invitation to all undergraduate students who have done or are planning to undertake undergraduate research experiences.  Since HMURS will include several lectures aimed at undergraduates from professionals in the field, this event serves as an ideal venue for them to be inspired toward careers in chemistry and the related sciences.  In particular, students who have performed research (i.e. with you, a colleague, or even as part of a summer research program) should be strongly encouraged to present posters as there is no registration fee for this event.  In addition, the top poster presenter(s) will be selected for a $500 travel grant to be applied towards attending an ACS National Meeting.  (The upcoming meeting of ACS in Spring 2015 will be held in Denver, CO).  As well, several poster presenters will be awarded one-year student memberships in the ACS.  Attached to this message, you will find a flyer announcing details about this event for posting/further dissemination amongst your departmental colleagues and students.

All participants may register through the link for the main HMURS site provided above, or at:

           http://www.morehouse.edu/facstaff/blawrenc/hmurs/register.html

While registration is required for all poster presenters, it is nonetheless strongly encouraged for all other attendees.  (This is to ensure that we have adequate quantities of food for our reception, and will allow us to pre-print name tags for all participants.)  Registration for students who plan to present research posters will close Monday, September 2 at midnight (12:00am).

I look forward to seeing you on September 5th!!

Best regards,

Brian M. Lawrence, Ph.D.
