Flyer: Prof. Konstantin Bukhryakov Flyer Title: Vanadium Alkylidenes for Olefin Metathesis Abstract: Olefin metathesis is a widely used synthetic method for the synthesis of chemicals employed in daily life, including plastics, household chemicals, agrochemicals, and high-grade fuels, including biofuels from renewable, sustainable feedstock. The current production of fine and commodity chemicals involving olefin metathesis exclusively […]

Flyer: Prof. Quentin Michaudel Flyer Title: Modern Organic Reactions for Precise (Macro)molecular Synthesis Abstract: Progress in healthcare, clean energy, and sustainable materials is driven by the synthesis of molecules of ever-increasing complexity. Research in the Michaudel group centers on the invention of polymerization methods that allow for precise control over macromolecular architecture (i.e., monomer composition, […]

Flyer: Prof. Jerome Robinson Flyer Title: Catalyst RE-Design: Dynamic, Reactive, and Selective Systems for Oxygenated (Co)Polymer Synthesis Abstract: Polymer waste has quickly become one of our society's largest looming environmental concerns, where an estimated 4.9 GTons of polymer waste currently exist in the environment. Central to addressing this challenge is the generation of polymers with […]

Flyer: Dr. Yulia Zaikina Flyer Title: Hard-to-make solids from unconventional synthetic routes Abstract: Materials discovery can be accelerated by the development of synthesis methods and in-situ characterization techniques allowing for the rapid "screening" of multicomponent systems, while theoretical predictions of new compounds’ structure and thermodynamic stability can yield the desired roadmap for the targeted synthesis. […]

Flyer: Prof. Rebecca Abergel Flyer Title: Heavy elements in nature: from waste management to precision medicine Abstract: From the potential contamination of individuals with radioactive fission products after a nuclear accident to the therapeutic use of radioisotopes for cancer diagnostics and treatment, the nuclear, coordination, and biological chemistry of actinides have become increasingly relevant to […]
