Updates the group syllabus and templates for the move from Georgia Tech to UT Austin.

Changed

  • templates/paper/main.tex — author email to shb@utexas.edu; the three \address lines are now Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering, Oden Institute, UT Austin (Austin, TX 78712).
  • readme.md, docs/index.md — group description drops "at Georgia Tech", matching the website.
  • CODA to the Oden Institute building — intro-to-group.md, when-where-working.md, undergraduate-specifics.md, working-with-me.md. GT room and floor numbers (S1313, S1347, "13th floor") are dropped rather than guessed at, as are the GTID reference and the comp-physics@office365.gatech.edu list address.
  • Box removed entirely — the storage bullet in intro-to-group.md, the example reviewer responses in responding-to-reviewers.md, and two example-proposal links in undergraduate-specifics.md.
  • Workday removed entirely — the whole ## Spend authorization walkthrough in going-to-conferences.md. The related line in undergraduate-specifics.md is now institution-neutral.
  • PURA removed — PURA Salary and PURA Travel are GT undergraduate award programs with no UT equivalent named yet. The walkthroughs are replaced with a pointer to ask about university undergraduate research and travel awards.
  • Overleaf — publishing.md now says utexas.edu; the Pro license carries over.
  • Calendar link removed — the published calendar in working-with-me.md was on the GT Outlook tenant and would stop resolving. That paragraph now just says to stop by or check Slack.
  • Passing GT mentions genericized — hardware.md (IP ownership), funding.md (Graduate School, "your time here"), challenges.md, giving-talks.md, faq.md, undergraduate-specifics.md, going-to-conferences.md.

Deliberately left alone

  • computers.md — the ## Georgia Tech section (PACE Phoenix, ICE, Rogues Gallery, Wingtip) stays as-is for now. The ACCESS-CI, DOE, and DOD sections were already institution-neutral.

mkdocs build --strict passes. Outside computers.md, no gatech, Georgia Tech, CODA, PURA, Box, or Workday references remain.

Affiliation, contact, and location details now point at UT Austin: the
paper template carries the Walker Department and Oden Institute
addresses, and the group description drops the university entirely.

Room- and building-specific text moves from CODA to the Oden Institute
building; GT room numbers are dropped rather than guessed at. Box links
and the Workday spend-authorization walkthrough are removed outright,
since neither carries over. GT compute resources in computers.md are
left alone for now.
PURA Salary and PURA Travel are Georgia Tech undergraduate award
programs with no UT equivalent to name yet, so the walkthroughs are
replaced with a pointer to ask about university awards. Overleaf Pro
carries over, so it just moves to utexas.edu. The published calendar
lived on the GT Outlook tenant and would stop resolving, so that
paragraph now just says to stop by or check Slack.

Also picks up two GT mentions in prose missed the first pass.
