Prof. Baran Flyer Title: Simplifying Synthesis with Electricity Abstract: Organic synthesis is one of the great branches of Chemistry that has had a profound impact on the betterment and advancement of civilization. In its most modern manifestations, it renders the dream of alchemy (turning something worthless into something valuable) a reality. It places the practitioner […]
Flyer: Prof. Van Sara Thoi Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Designing Functional Sites in Porous Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion Abstract: Despite their high theoretical specific energy of 2,600 Wh kg-1, the commercialization of lithium-sulfur batteries is hindered by irreversible capacity loss from the dissolution of polysulfide intermediates in the […]
Prof. Landes Flyer Title: Towards Predictive Protein Separations: Imaging Protein Dynamics at Nanoscale Interfaces Abstract: Recent efforts by our group and others have shown the promise of applying single molecule methods to link mechanistic detail about protein adsorption to macroscale observables. When we study one molecule at a time, we eliminate ensemble averaging, thereby accessing […]
Vahid Sandoghdar Flyer Title: Ultrasensitive Analysis of Nano-Matter via Scattering: From Single Proteins and Viruses to Sub-Cellular Features Abstract: The last two decades have witnessed the insatiable potential of optical techniques for sensitive studies. Optical detection of small nanoparticles and single molecules have often relied on fluorescence, but limited photophysics and the need for labeling […]
Flyer: Dr. Charles H. Wallace Title: The Role of Chemistry in Advanced Patterning of Semiconductor Devices Abstract: The presentation will introduce lithography and advanced patterning to construct transistors and interconnects for semiconductor device manufacturing followed by a discussion of the various inorganic chemicals and materials used in the manufacturing process. Some of the key topics […]

Jake Yeston Seminar Flyer Title: Scientific Publishing From The Inside Out Abstract: For 140 years, Science Magazine has presented a weekly selection of the finest research across the full spectrum of scientific disciplines. Our goal remains to keep scientists well-informed about important developments within and also beyond their own fields of research, and to encourage […]
Prof Schwartz Flyer Title: Rare Event Sampling, Protein Dynamics in Enzymatic Catalysis and Directed Evolution: Lessons in Artificial Enzyme Design Abstract: Remarkably, after many decades of study, the way enzymes so magnificently catalyze chemical reactions is still a matter of significant debate. In addition, artificial protein catalyst design has proven elusive. Years ago, we proposed […]
