Prof. Banerjie Flyer Title: Organic Semiconductors in Electronics, Photovoltaics and Bioelectronics Abstrac: Organic conjugated materials have many favourable properties that make them interesting for a variety of electronic applications. The aim of my group is to understand the fundamental processes underlying their functionality. We use ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, such as transient absorption (TA) and time-domain […]
Flyer: Prof. Emily Tsui Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Organometallic Chemistry at Quantum Dot Surfaces Abstract: Due to their tunable optoelectronic properties, colloidal semiconductor quantum dot nanocrystals are useful in applications like displays, photovoltaics, and photocatalysis. Chemistry at nanocrystal surfaces, including redox processes, association/dissociation, and other structural rearrangements, has an outsize […]
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED Prof. Gilles Flyer Title: Self-Immolative Polymers: Chemical Designs and Applications Abstract: The development of degradable polymers is of significant interest across a wide range of fields from commodity plastics to medicine. Much progress has been made to date with conventional polyesters such as polylactide and […]
Prof. Vlcek Flyer Title: Excitation Dynamics Driving the Electronic Structure of Molecules and Solids Abstract: Capturing the dynamics of electronic excitations in realistic systems containing more than a few electrons is one of the outstanding theoretical challenges. Dynamical quantum correlations mediate interactions and couplings between multiple excited states in materials and represent an important driver […]
Flyer: Prof. Megan Fieser Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Development of Catalytic Strategies for Advances in Polymer Sustainability Abstract: As we strive to support our busy and demanding lifestyles, our dependence on disposable plastics has led to a global environmental crisis. The high stability of plastics to an array of conditions […]
