Flyer: Dr. Jennifer Casey Flyer Title: Implementing Effective and Inclusive Group Work in the STEM Classroom Abstract: Students learn more and earn higher grades in student-centered, collaborative instruction than in lecture-based instruction. Research also suggests that group work may improve equity in course outcomes. Given the many documented benefits of collaborative learning, instructors have good […]
Flyer: Prof. Jerome Robinson Flyer Title: Catalyst RE-Design: Dynamic, Reactive, and Selective Systems for Oxygenated (Co)Polymer Synthesis Abstract: Polymer waste has quickly become one of our society's largest looming environmental concerns, where an estimated 4.9 GTons of polymer waste currently exist in the environment. Central to addressing this challenge is the generation of polymers with […]
Kritzer Flyer Designing Stapled Peptides that Control Autophagy Abstract: Autophagy is a cellular recycling process important for health and disease, and a major focus for new types of targeted protein degradation. The Kritzer Lab has used structure-based design to develop stapled peptides that bind the critical autophagy proteins LC3B and GABARAP with nanomolar affinities. Small […]

Prof. Raman Flyer Nanophotonic Control of Thermal Emission and Radiative Cooling Applications Abstract: Thermal emission is a ubiquitous light emission process whose control is of central importance to a broad range of energy, heat transfer and imaging applications. In this talk, I will describe my group's recent work on controlling the directional and spectral characteristics […]
Flyer: Dr. Yulia Zaikina Flyer Title: Hard-to-make solids from unconventional synthetic routes Abstract: Materials discovery can be accelerated by the development of synthesis methods and in-situ characterization techniques allowing for the rapid "screening" of multicomponent systems, while theoretical predictions of new compounds’ structure and thermodynamic stability can yield the desired roadmap for the targeted synthesis.
