  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Robert Baker

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Baker Flyer Title: Observing Ultrafast Electron Motion in Catalytic Systems: New Ways to Visualize Charge and Spin Dynamics at Interfaces Abstract: Understanding and controlling electron dynamics at interfaces is at the heart of numerous applications ranging from heterogenous catalysis to information processing. To directly observe these dynamics, we have developed ultrafast XUV reflection spectroscopy as […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lu Wei

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Wei Flyer Title: Functional Bond-Selective Microscopy for Subcellular Bioanalysis Abstract: Innovations in optical spectroscopy and microscopy have revolutionized our understanding in live biological systems at the sub-cellular levels. In this talk, I will present our recent advances in developing and applying functional bond-selective spectro-microscopy for investigating subcellular biological activities with rich chemical information. In the […]

  • Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. David Christianson

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Title: Directing Biosynthesis with Modular Architecture in Terpene Cyclases Abstract: Terpene cyclases catalyze the most complex chemical reactions in biology, in that more than half of the carbon atoms in an isoprenoid substrate undergo changes in bonding or hybridization during a multi-step cyclization cascade that proceeds through multiple carbocation intermediates. Although the substrate pool for […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Lisa Fredin

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Fredin Flyer Title: Modeling Photoactive Organic Materials Abstract: Chemical intuition is well developed for single molecules but the extent to which disorder in solid state molecular materials contributes to their properties is poorly understood. In particular, molecular materials move charges in some directions much more efficiently than others due to the packing of the molecules. […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Abby Knight

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Knight Flyer Title: Biomimetic Hierarchical Structure in Synthetic Macromolecules Abstract: The remarkable functions of proteins, from refined binding profiles to efficient catalysis, are currently unrivaled by synthetic macromolecules due to complex hierarchical structure in natural systems. Inspired by this grand challenge, the Knight group is at the interface of chemical biology and polymer science, developing […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Elizabeth Young

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Flyer: Prof. Elizabeth Young Flyer Title: From Photodynamic Therapy to Photovoltaics: Photophysics of Pd(II)biladiene and Charge Carrier Dynamics in Thin Films of Light Harvesting Sb2S3 Abstract: Solar light harvesting and interconversion of solar energy into either electricity or driving force for small molecule activation reactions are critical to the production of energy and other processes […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Franz Geiger

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Geiger Flyer Title: Photonic Electrochemistry Abstract: Water's oxygen is the electron source in the industrially important oxygen evolution reaction, but how water interacts with an electrode remains enigmatic. While much microscopic insight into the Stern layer comes from atomistic simulations or joint theory-experiment approaches, water's strong absorber problem has clouded our view of how water […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Prof. Joel Smith

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Smith Flyer Title: Dearomative Alkaloid Synthesis Abstract: Biologically active alkaloids continue to serve as a means of biomedical discovery in addition to serving as forcing functions for the invention of new chemical transformations. Structurally, many of these natural products and rationally designed drugs also contain one or more piperidine rings, making it the most common […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Hannah Shafaat

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Shafaat Flyer Title: Model Metalloenzymes to Catalyze the Reactions of Early Life Abstract: Metalloenzymes catalyze the challenging chemical reactions that lie at the core of vital life processes, from carbon and nitrogen fixation to photosynthesis and respiration. Native metalloenzymes use only earth-abundant transition metals and operate under mild conditions, accessing reactivity that remains largely out […]
