• Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Vojtech Vleck

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

    Prof. Vlcek Flyer Title: Excitation Dynamics Driving the Electronic Structure of Molecules and Solids Abstract: Capturing the dynamics of electronic excitations in realistic systems containing more than a few electrons is one of the outstanding theoretical challenges. Dynamical quantum correlations mediate interactions and couplings between multiple excited states in materials and represent an important driver […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Sidney Wilkerson-Hill

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

    Seminar Sponsored by Organization for Cultural Diversity in Science Prof Wilkerson Hill Flyer Title: Orphaned Cyclopropanes Abstract: Cyclopropanes are strained carbocycles that have fascinated chemists for decades with many established methods for their construction. Unfortunately, many methods struggle to build cyclopropanes containing only alkyl functionality, which limits access to antiviral medicines (e.g., nirmatrelvir), pyrethroid insecticides […]

  • Inaugural Dickerson Lecture Biochemistry Seminar Series: Robert M. Stroud

    Boyer 159 611 Charles E Young Dr E, Los Angeles, CA 90095, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Flyer: Dickerson Lecture Flyer - Robert M. Stroud Title: “Caught in the Act! - Building the Wall!" Abstract: From the atomic structure of the first protein, Myoglobin in which Richard Dickerson played the key role(1), proteins were necessarily purified from large animals. Now complex machines can be 'tagged' and purified endogenously from cells growing under […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Mahdi Abu-Omar

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

    Flyer: Prof. Mahdi Abu-Omar Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Bifunctional catalysis for upcycling of polyethylene to alkylaromatics Abstract: The current scale of plastics production (nearing 400 million tons per year) and the accompanying waste disposal problems represent a largely untapped opportunity for chemical upcycling. Tandem catalytic conversion by platinum supported on […]
