Utilizing both computational and experimental methodologies work in the MIR lab explores the basic molecular details of structure and design and […]
Prof Nanda Flyer Title: Next Generation Solid-Electrolytes and Cathode Design for All Solid-State Batteries Abstract: Lithium-metal based solid-state batteries (SSB) are considered to the holy-grail of the next generation battery technology for their promise of higher energy density (500 Wh/Kg), safety and providing a flexible platform for integrating a number of promising solid-electrolytes (SE) with […]
Flyer: Prof. Long Luo Flyer Title: Rational Design of Alternating Current Electrolysis (ACE) for Organic Synthesis Abstract: In this presentation, I will talk about the history of alternating current electrolysis (ACE) for organic synthesis and our recent work on exploring and quantitatively understanding the unique reactivity of ACE, including mimicking the redox-neutral environment of photoredox […]
Flyer: Prof. Jia Niu Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Sustainability-Oriented Approaches to Precision Macromolecules Abstract: Macromolecules are ubiquitous in life and in human society. A long-term goal of our research group is to develop novel synthetic macromolecules that are degradable, derived from sustainable resources, possess a circular life cycle, or can […]
Prof. Dong Flyer Choose Your Own Adventure in Metal-Hydride Catalysis Abstract: Metal hydrides promote a wide-range of organic transformations that include both C-C bond making and C-C bond breaking processes. This lecture will highlight the development of Rh and Co-catalysts for use in enantioselective hydrofunctionalizations (e.g., hydroacylation, hydroamination, and hydrothiolation). In addition, a unique transfer […]
Tatyana Svitkina Flyer Title: Crosstalk between cytoskeletal machineries in cells Abstract: My laboratory investigates roles of the actin cytoskeleton in various cellular activities, such as cell motility, morphogenesis, cell shape determination, cell-cell interactions and membrane organelle dynamics. Our distinctive approach toward this goal is to use platinum replica electron microscopy (PREM) to determine high resolution […]
Prof Huxter Flyer Title: Photophysics of Photocatalytic and Radical Systems Abstract: Photoredox catalysis has enabled researchers to overcome previously intractable problems in organic synthesis. The use of light to drive catalysis has allowed for more selective reactions that generate both simple and complex molecules from renewable and economical starting materials under mild conditions. The dynamics […]
Flyer: Dr. Stafford Sheehan Flyer Title: Carbon Dioxide Utilization for Sustainable Aviation Fuel at Air Company Abstract: Power-to-liquid (PtL) technologies must be deployed at world-scale to sustainably produce energy-dense liquid fuels in the quantities needed to replace fossil fuels in hard-to-decarbonize industries. Legacy PtL pathways rely on multi-step approaches to first produce carbon monoxide, then […]
Flyer: Prof. Ted Betley Flyer Title: Trapping radical intermediates, walking the fine line between stabilization and provocation Abstract: Our group is interested in how electronic structure makeup directly links to reactivity in inorganic complexes. We explore new means for stabilizing radicaloid ligands to drive new reaction processes. We examine how weak field platforms enable radical […]
