Multiscale Simulation of Biophysics, with Emphasis on Rare-Event Sampling The behavior of a biophysical systems often is quite different when investigated on different length scales and a complete description of such a system typically requires different approaches for these different length scales. At atomic and mesoscopic scales, a considerable number of degrees of freedom are […]

“Molecular Design of Solids and Surfaces” Abstract: Novel materials will be central to solving some of the greatest challenges facing us in the 21st century, including energy storage and utilization, chemical separations, water purification, and targeted drug delivery. This talk will focus on bringing molecular-level understanding to two areas of materials design. In part one, […]
“Cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes: from Replacing Metals to Metal Replacement” Abstract: Stable singlet carbenes are flourishing with a diversity of applications: from ligands in catalysis to the stabilization of otherwise unisolable chemical species. Here, I will showcase the diverse and rich chemistry of cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs), a class of stable singlet carbenes known for their high ambiphilic […]
"Phase Separation in Genome Organization"
“Stereoselective Ring-Opening Polymerization to Synthesize Functionalized Polyesters” Abstract: Polymers are all around us – from our daily use to biopolymers and therapeutics. Inspired by recent advances in chemistry, molecular pharmaceutics and biotechnology, on-demand and triggerable “smart” systems offers opportunities from precisely synthesis of polymers to delivering drugs in dose-, spatial- and temporal- controlled manners. This […]
