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 […]
Prof. Doug Rees Flyer Talk Title: Nitrogenase: Beyond the Resting State Abstract: The enzyme nitrogenase has the remarkable ability to catalyze the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia to under physiological conditions. The mechanistic questions related to how nitrogenase overcomes the kinetic stability of the NN triple bond to fix dinitrogen under ambient conditions have intrigued […]
Flyer: Prof. Kwabena Bediako Flyer Title: Superlattice Design of Solids and Interfaces Abstract: Superlattice structures are a powerful means of tailoring physical and chemical properties of materials. The modification of electronic structures at electrode–electrolyte interfaces is fundamental to efficient electrochemical energy conversion processes, and the intercalation of magnetic ions between van der Waals layers tunes […]
