Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Abby Knight

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Knight Flyer Title: Biomimetic Hierarchical Structure in Synthetic Macromolecules Abstract: The remarkable functions of proteins, from refined binding profiles to efficient catalysis, are currently unrivaled by synthetic macromolecules due to complex hierarchical structure in natural systems. Inspired by this grand challenge, the Knight group is at the interface of chemical biology and polymer science, developing […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lisa Fredin

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Fredin Flyer Title: Modeling Photoactive Organic Materials Abstract: Chemical intuition is well developed for single molecules but the extent to which disorder in solid state molecular materials contributes to their properties is poorly understood. In particular, molecular materials move charges in some directions much more efficiently than others due to the packing of the molecules. […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Phillip J. Milner

Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

Flyer:Prof. Phillip Milner Flyer Title: "Simplifying Synthesis at the Interface of Organic and Materials Chemistry" Abstract: Porous framework materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are highly tunable materials with myriad potential applications ranging from chemical separations to gas storage to catalysis. This is due to the unusual local environment offered by their pores. Herein we will […]

Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. David Christianson

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Title: Directing Biosynthesis with Modular Architecture in Terpene Cyclases Abstract: Terpene cyclases catalyze the most complex chemical reactions in biology, in that more than half of the carbon atoms in an isoprenoid substrate undergo changes in bonding or hybridization during a multi-step cyclization cascade that proceeds through multiple carbocation intermediates. Although the substrate pool for […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lu Wei

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Wei Flyer Title: Functional Bond-Selective Microscopy for Subcellular Bioanalysis Abstract: Innovations in optical spectroscopy and microscopy have revolutionized our understanding in live biological systems at the sub-cellular levels. In this talk, I will present our recent advances in developing and applying functional bond-selective spectro-microscopy for investigating subcellular biological activities with rich chemical information. In the […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Robert Baker

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Baker Flyer Title: Observing Ultrafast Electron Motion in Catalytic Systems: New Ways to Visualize Charge and Spin Dynamics at Interfaces Abstract: Understanding and controlling electron dynamics at interfaces is at the heart of numerous applications ranging from heterogenous catalysis to information processing. To directly observe these dynamics, we have developed ultrafast XUV reflection spectroscopy as […]

Inorganic Student Exit Talk: Austin Ready

Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

Flyer: Austin Ready Flyer Title: Boron Clusters as Robust Building Blocks for the Expansion of Carbon-Based Chemistry Abstract: Due to a delocalization of electron density, polyhedral boron clusters are often described as three-dimensional analogues of planar aromatic molecules such as benzene. Despite this electronic similarity, boron clusters can have drastically different chemical and physical properties […]
