Flyer: Prof. Amanda Cook Flyer Title: Alkene Functionalization Using Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysts Abstract: Surface Organometallic Chemistry is an approach to synthesizing heterogeneous catalysts with molecular precision and relies on knowledge of homogeneous organometallic reactions. In our lab, we aim to install active sites on surfaces using oxidative addition of low-valent metal centers to surface […]

Flyer: Prof. Guosong Hong Flyer Title: Seeing the Sound: An Ultrasound-Mediated Intravascular Light Source Enabled by Mechanoluminescent Materials Abstract: Light is used in a wide range of methods in chemistry, biology, and medicine, fluorescence imaging, optogenetics, photoactivatable gene editing, light-controlled immunotherapy, and photochemotherapy for treating cancers and viral infections. A critical challenge for all light-based […]

Flyer: Prof. Jarad Mason Flyer Title: Manipulating Phase Transitions and Porosity: From Solid Refrigerants to Microporous Water Abstract: Materials that undergo phase transitions in response to specific stimuli and that contain pores tailored to interact with specific guest molecules offer unique opportunities for addressing many important global challenges. Here, I will describe two recent examples […]
