Controlled epitaxial growth and fabrication of hybrid halide perovskites Abstract: Organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskites have demonstrated tremendous potential for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices due to their remarkable carrier dynamics. Current studies are mostly focused on polycrystals, since controlled growth of high-quality single crystals is challenging. In this presentation, I will discuss strategies that enabled […]

Controlling the Architecture of Nanoporous Materials to Regulate their Thermal Conductivity and Optical Transparency for Energy Efficient Windows Transparent, low thermal conductivity coatings can be applied to windows to increase the energy efficiency of buildings. Amorphous material such as silica make good thermal insulators due to their local atomic disorder that impedes heat conduction. Moreover, […]
Break-it-to-Make-it Strategies for Chemical Synthesis Inspired by Complex Natural Products”
Abstract: Natural products continue to inspire and serve as the basis of new medicines. They also provide intricate problems that expose limitations in the strategies and methods employed in chemical synthesis. Several strategies and methods that have been developed in our laboratory and applied to the syntheses of architecturally complex diterpenoid alkaloids, indole alkaloids, and […]

Chemical Change in Protein Molecular Dynamics: Developing Computational Tools for Metal Binding and pH Sensitivity Molecular dynamics (MD) is a powerful tool to study atomic scale changes in proteins underpinning biological pathways. However, simulations traditionally sample a fixed chemical state and struggle to achieve quantitatively accurate energies, making comparisons of different chemical ensembles challenging. Hybrid […]
CIC Careers in Green Chemistry Seminar Series
The Center for Integrated Catalysis is hosting a new seminar series called the "Careers in Green Chemistry." With these webinars, we aim to bring speakers from a wide variety of careers, linked through green chemistry, to come talk about their current job as well as the career path that led them to that position. We are pleased […]

“Tuning the Excitonic Properties of 2-Dimensional Molecular Aggregates across the Visible and Shortwave Infrared” Molecular aggregates are non-covalent self-assemblies of chromophores wherein transition dipole moments of individual molecules couple coherently over long distances, forming delocalized excitons. This imparts exciting photophysical properties such as extreme blue or red shifts (seen in H- or J-aggregates respectively), narrow […]
