Yudin Flyer Synthetic Half-Reactions Abstract: This lecture will describe the concept of synthetic half-reactions and its applications towards understanding the interplay of chemical reactivity and conformational interconversions. Apart from electrochemistry, which offers half-reaction formalism to predict reactivity, there is no accepted system that dissects chemical transformations into simple components with the goal of matching uphill […]

Prof. Cushing Flyer Title: From Batteries to Photoelectrochemistry: Exploring Ultrafast Phenomena with Electrons, X-rays, and Entangled Photons Abstract: The Cushing lab focuses on ultrafast instrumentation building that ranges from tabletop X-rays, entangled photon spectroscopy, ultrafast TEM/EELS, to new forms of battery spectroscopy. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to our research areas, […]
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 […]
