“Structure and Surfaces at the Nanoscale” Abstract: Liquid-phase and wet-processing techniques offer tremendous opportunities for low-cost manufacturing and enable the concept of large-scale nanotechnology. Today, these approaches have facilitated the massive upscaling of lithium ion battery technology and promise to play a future role in a wide variety of electronic, photonic, and electrochemical systems. Materials and […]
Abstract: Synthetic polymers have permeated nearly every facet of modern life. From the ubiquity of polyolefins to recent advancements in 3-D printing, organic materials continue to shape the world around us. While tremendous accomplishments have been made with relatively few polymer families, the future requires the development of materials with increased control over structure to produce […]

Carter Lantz Loo Group “Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Amyloid Proteins and their Interaction with the Aggregation Inhibiting Compound CLR01”
“Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Studies of C02Reduction Catalysts” Abstract: The increase in global energy demands, coupled with growing environmental concerns, necessitates the development of viable technologies to store solar energy. Towards this end, my group is focused on developing efficient catalysts that convert CO2 to CO, methanol or formic acid. My talk will first describe our […]
Abstract: Transcriptional coactivators and their partner transcription factors have been labeled as intrinsically disordered, fuzzy, and undruggable. We propose that the identification of conserved mechanisms of engagement between coactivators and their cognate activators should provide general principles for small-molecule modulator discovery. Towards that end, biophysical characterization of the structurally divergent coactivator Med25 reveals that it forms […]
“Interfacial Chemistry of Colloidal Nanocrystals to Direct Energy Conversion”
Interfacial Chemistry of Colloidal Nanocrystals to Direct Energy Conversion We are interested in developing colloidal nanocrystals for wide-ranging applications in energy interconversion. Our approach leverages the extraordinary properties of nanoscale systems and applies design principles of molecular inorganic chemistry. This talk will focus on two key research themes. First, we will explore how interfacial chemistry […]
