Title: Lighting Up the Oceans: Emerging Nanophotonic Platforms for Real-time Ocean Observation Abstract: The oceans are the largest biological habitat in the known universe and are among the least charted. Covering over two and a half times the area of Mars, the oceans host diverse microorganisms that cycle nearly all chemical elements and are responsible […]
Flyer: Prof. Neil Tomson Title: Ligand Flexibility in Surface-Inspired Cluster Chemistry Abstract: Metallic surfaces perform many chemical transformations that hold promise for the future energy economy, including dinitrogen reduction, ammonia oxidation, and alkane synthesis, but surfaces are difficult to tune, limiting chemists’ ability to improve their efficiencies. Molecular cluster complexes inspired by surface chemistry have […]
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 […]
