She is a Research Associate at the Enterprise \nInnovation Institute. She has a Fulbright grant that will provide three \nmonths of research in Bolivia and seven months in Peru. She will work on\n developing community participation in urban service provision in a \ncommunity in each country. She\n will work in Cochabamba, Bolivia and Arequipa, Peru because both cities\n face similar difficulties with waste, water, and energy management, and\n both cities have dealt with anti-privatization demonstrations of basic \nurban services.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECOLBY MANGELS (Switzerland) \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EColby\n Mangels is from Valdosta, GA and is majoring in International Affairs \nand Modern Languages. He spent a year abroad in the former East Germany \nas a high school student, and as a college student held an internship in\n Leipzig through the US State Department and another internship with a \nmember of the German Bundestag. He will be doing research to examine the\n model of Swiss non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in anti-money \nlaundering and counter-terrorism finance.\u0026nbsp; He plans to document how \nSwiss NGOs have affected policy and judicial outcomes and to provide a \nroadmap for developing countries to use. Money laundering and the \nfinancing of terrorism are problems in developing countries, and Mangels\n hopes to provide a documented approach for such countries to use. He \nwill be working with the Basel Institute on Governance and with \nTransparency International Switzerland to create a model that shows how \ngovernmental, business, and civic-activist groups can work effectively \nto create needed policies.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHOLLY TINKEY (Netherlands) \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHolly\n Tinkey is from Lawrenceville, GA and is majoring in Physics. She will \nbe doing research at the University of Leiden with the Magnetic and \nSuperconducting Materials group that specializes in growing thin \nmagnetic films capable of enhancing the range of superconductivity. \nTinkey will use specialized training in thin film development she \nreceived both at Georgia Tech and during a summer internship at the \nUniversity of Illinois. The research is important in the new field of \nquantum electronics because it directly pertains to the manipulation and\n longevity of quantum states. Current silicon electronics is reaching \nits limits, and scientists are looking for nano-devices in which single \nelectron currents can be maneuvered to engineer ultra fast transistors \ncapable of gigahertz speeds. Tinkey is a musician and plans to \nparticipate in musical\u0026nbsp; activities while in the Netherlands.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"15436","created_gmt":"2011-06-20 15:50:36","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:53","author":"Automator","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2011-06-20T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2011-06-20T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/us.fulbrightonline.org\/home.html","title":"Fulbright Online"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.cies.org\/","title":"Fulbright Scholar Program"}],"groups":[{"id":"1297","name":"Office of International Education"}],"categories":[{"id":"130","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"12305","name":"2011"},{"id":"369","name":"Fulbright"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDr. Karen Adams is the contact for GT students who wish to apply for Fulbright.
