  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Anton Van der Ven

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

    Prof Van der Ven Flyer Title: From Electronic Structure to Battery Thermodynamics and Kinetics Abstract:   Most electrochemical processes can be modeled with powerful phenomenological theories that describe ion transport, interface reactions and mechanical responses. Phenomenological descriptions, however, rely on materials specific coefficients and free energies, which are quantities that are often difficult to measure in […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Wei Liu

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

    Prof Liu Flyer Copper-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions: Mechanism, Catalysis, and Applications in Life Sciences Abstract: Owing to their many attractive characteristics, copper catalysts represent appealing alternatives to precious metal catalysts, although various limitations remain in copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Recently, we and others recognized that copper catalysis presents a powerful strategy to functionalize sp3 hybridized carbon radicals […]

  • Biochemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Jonathan Abraham

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

    Title: Mechanisms of immune evasion by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein Jonathan Abraham Flyer

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Seth Cohen

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

    Flyer: Prof. Seth Cohen Flyer Title: Exploring MOF-Polymer Hybrid Materials Abstract: Hybrid materials of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and polymers have gained interest as processible composites that might be suitable for a wide range of applications. A number of approaches have been pursued to create MOF-polymer composites, including mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) prepared with MOFs, polymer-decorated MOF […]

  • Special Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Jörg Enderlein

    Young Hall 2033

    Enderlein Flyer Updated Title: Metal and Graphene Induced Energy Transfer Abstract:   Metal-Induced Energy Transfer (MIET) Imaging is a recently developed method that allows for nanometer resolution along the optical axis. It is based on the fact that, when placing a fluorescent molecule close to a metal, its fluorescence properties change dramatically, due to electromagnetic coupling […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Emily Balskus

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

    Balskus Flyer Title: Deciphering the Human Microbiome with Chemistry Abstract: The human body is colonized by trillions of microorganisms that exert a profound influence on human biology, in part by providing functional capabilities that extend beyond those of host cells. In particular, there is growing evidence linking chemical processes carried out by the human gut […]

  • Biochemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Lillian Fritz-Laylin

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

    Lillian Fritz-Laylin Flyer Title: The evolution and specification of the cytoskeletal networks Abstract: Cells physically manipulate their environments; swimming through liquids, crawling across surfaces, and actively ingesting objects large and small. Inside eukaryotic cells lies a seething mass of cytoplasm through which thousands of different objects are pushed and pulled to specific cellular locations. These […]

  • Knobler Lecture: Vinothan Manoharan

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

    Prof Manoharan Knobler Lecture Flyer Title: The Self-Assembly of Simple RNA Viruses Abstract: Self-assembly is the process by which molecules or particles spontaneously form ordered structures, driven by interactions and thermal fluctuations. The term "self-assembly" was originally coined to describe the formation of simple RNA viruses, which consist of RNA and coat proteins that form […]
