Interfacial Chemistry of Colloidal Nanocrystals to Direct Energy Conversion: Prof. Brandi Cossairt, University of Washington
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 […]

“Beyond Traditional Superatom Ligands and Cores” Abstract: As technological development continues to advance at a rapid pace, there is an increasing need for next-generation materials. There are several fundamental challenges associated with developing these novel materials, including understanding the nature of the electronic contacts and tuning the specific properties of a material. In the context […]
Chem 218: First Principles Many-Body Theory and Quantum Dynamics for Materials Prediction – Prof. Yuan Ping, UCSC
First Principles Many-Body Theory and Quantum Dynamics for Materials Prediction Materials prediction is the ultimate solution for ending blind experimental search within an expansive material parameter space. First-principles theory entirely based on quantum mechanics without prior input parameters is the perfect tool for new material design. In order to predict exotic quantum materials and out-of-equilibrium […]
Lessons from molecular evolution: from origin of life to phage-based nanomaterials
Abstract: Molecular evolution is a walk over a fitness landscape, in which populations explore sequence space through mutation and ‘climb’ up fitness peaks. The topography of the fitness landscape governs potential pathways for evolution and determines whether fitness can be optimized by natural selection. We are making exhaustive maps of fitness landscapes for catalytic RNA […]

“Metallic and Covalent Bonding in Materials: Role in Properties, Structure, and Stability” Abstract: The search for new ultraincompressible, superhard materials has been performed largely through trial and error. Despite the difficulties in synthesizing such materials, interest in this field has blossomed with recent experimental and theoretical results. Such progress has led to the development of superhard […]
