  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Hannah Shafaat

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

    Shafaat Flyer Title: Model Metalloenzymes to Catalyze the Reactions of Early Life Abstract: Metalloenzymes catalyze the challenging chemical reactions that lie at the core of vital life processes, from carbon and nitrogen fixation to photosynthesis and respiration. Native metalloenzymes use only earth-abundant transition metals and operate under mild conditions, accessing reactivity that remains largely out […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Prashant Jain

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Flyer: Prof. Prashant Jain Flyer Title: "The Chemical Potential of Light" Abstract: The interaction of light with molecules can be used to access new modes of chemical reactivity; however, this interaction is often difficult to exploit in a universal manner. I will describe how plasmonics is proving to be a general strategy for interfacing photons […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Joel Smith

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

    Smith Flyer Title: Dearomative Alkaloid Synthesis Abstract: Biologically active alkaloids continue to serve as a means of biomedical discovery in addition to serving as forcing functions for the invention of new chemical transformations. Structurally, many of these natural products and rationally designed drugs also contain one or more piperidine rings, making it the most common […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Franz Geiger

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

    Geiger Flyer Title: Photonic Electrochemistry Abstract: Water's oxygen is the electron source in the industrially important oxygen evolution reaction, but how water interacts with an electrode remains enigmatic. While much microscopic insight into the Stern layer comes from atomistic simulations or joint theory-experiment approaches, water's strong absorber problem has clouded our view of how water […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Elizabeth Young

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

    Flyer: Prof. Elizabeth Young Flyer Title: From Photodynamic Therapy to Photovoltaics: Photophysics of Pd(II)biladiene and Charge Carrier Dynamics in Thin Films of Light Harvesting Sb2S3 Abstract: Solar light harvesting and interconversion of solar energy into either electricity or driving force for small molecule activation reactions are critical to the production of energy and other processes […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Abby Knight

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

    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 […]
