Flyer: Dr. Heather Tienson-Tseng Flyer Title: Using Assessment to Inform Instructional Changes Abstract: An integral aspect of education is assessment, but what is the purpose of assessment, and what can we do to better assess our students? Two common reasons for assigning assessments include determining what students have learned and assigning grades, yet another purpose […]
Flyer: Prof. Wenyu Huang Flyer Title: From Selective Hydrogenation to Polymer Upcycling: Implementation of Ordered Nanomaterials in Heterogeneous Catalysis Abstract: Catalysis—the essential science for accelerating and directing chemical transformation—is the key to realizing environmentally friendly and economical processes for the conversion of fossil energy feedstocks. Catalysis is also the key to developing new technologies for […]

Title: “Coordination Chemistry of Diborane(4) and Diborane(6)” Abstract: The fascinating aspect of metallaborane chemistry is that several classic organometallic complexes that defined fundamental structural and bonding paradigms are mimicked by many isoelectronic metallaborane analogues. In this connection, diborane compounds not only mimics several classic organometallic compounds but also they have been extensively explored for the […]
Title: “Building a Toolbox for Sustainable Synthesis and Catalysis” Abstract: The presentation will focus on three of our current areas of interest: Mechanochemical synthesis: by leveraging mechanochemical forces via vibratory ball milling or ultrasonic irradiation, we can expedite the synthesis of both conventional, and exotic Schiff base coordination complexes. Critically these reactions can be performed solvent-free […]
