Hernandez Seminar Flyer 3D-Networked Nanoparticles for Autonomous Computing Abstract: Over the last decade, it has become clear that conventional VLSI is reaching key scaling limits. Moreover, the energy efficiency of human-engineered electronic devices is many orders of magnitude lower as compared to biological computational structures. Such inefficiencies, for example, severely limit our ability to […]
Flyer: Prof. Robert Comito Flyer Title: Bimetallic Main-Group Catalysts for the Synthesis of Advanced Biodegradable Polymers Abstract: Aliphatic polyesters are biodegradable and biocompatible materials that could replace polyolefins in many applications. However, their synthesis with fine structural control remains challenging, limiting the ability to tailor these materials for specialty and advanced applications. Our laboratory has […]
Flyer: Dr. Alec Follmer Flyer Title: Controlling C-H Bond Activation: Structural and Dynamic Regulation of Reactive Intermediates in Cytochrome P450 Catalysis Abstract: From metabolism and detoxification to the biosynthesis of steroids and natural products, cytochromes P450 (P450s) are heme-containing enzymes that utilize O2 for the activation of C–H bonds and serve ubiquitous roles in nearly […]
Prof. Matthew Sheldon Flyer Talk Title: Plasmonic Platforms for Polaritonic Chemistry Abstract: We are developing experimental platforms to probe vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between molecules and resonant infrared (IR) nanophotonic architectures, in order to understand how this coupling can fundamentally control chemical reactivity, as well as enable new classes of light-matter interaction. This method of […]
Flyer: Prof. Chong Liu Flyer Title: Materials Design for Critical Element Separation Abstract: The development of renewable energy technologies and next-generation quantum and optoelectronic devices relies on the secured supply of critical elements. Traditional mining and separation methods are disruptive to the environment, consume large quantities of harsh chemicals, and are unable to access dilute […]
