Prof Corminbouef Flyer Title: NaviCat: Computational Tools to Navigate Molecular Catalyst Landscape Abstract: Over the last few years, we have worked on an assortment of computational and digital tools aimed at accelerating the through exploration and optimization of homogeneous catalyst landscapes. These interoperable tools are assembled into the NaviCat (Navigating Catalysis) platform, which includes: volcanic, […]
Flyer: Prof. Joshua Goldberger Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: New Directions in Layered, Anisotropic Materials Abstract: Layered and 2D materials are currently one of the most well-studied classes of solid-state compounds, due to the plethora of unique physical phenomena found in these materials coupled with advances in the characterization of structure […]
Prof Read de Alaniz Flyer Title: Simplifying Synthesis With Chemistry Abstract: Photons have multiple enabling advantages to control chemical reactions, processes and stimuli-responsive materials. In this seminar, I will discuss our groups effort to design and develop a new class of negative photochromic molecules termed DASA, their incorporation into materials and subsequent effort to unlock […]
Prof. Waldeck Flyer Adventures with Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity Abstract: Abstract: Since Louis Pasteur, chemists have been fascinated by chirality, however its connection with electron spin was not realized until the 21st century and its implications for chemistry and biochemistry is only beginning to be revealed. I will discuss chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS), which […]
Flyer: Prof. Joseph W. Kolis Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Hydrothermal Synthesis of Metal Vanadates: From Lasers to Frustrated Magnets and Maybe Even Some Quantum Materials Abstract: The high-temperature hydrothermal method (with temperatures 5-700˚C, pressures 200MPa) can be an excellent route to new materials, often in the form of large, high-quality […]
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 […]
