    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Prof. Matthew Sheldon Flyer Talk Title: Plasmonic Platforms for Polaritonic Chemistry Abstract: We are developing experimental platforms to probe vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between molecules and resonant infrared (IR) nanophotonic architectures, in order to understand how this coupling can fundamentally control chemical reactivity, as well as enable new classes of light-matter interaction. This method of […]

    Flyer: Prof. Robert Comito Flyer Title: Bimetallic Main-Group Catalysts for the Synthesis of Advanced Biodegradable Polymers Abstract: Aliphatic polyesters are biodegradable and biocompatible materials that could replace polyolefins in many applications. However, their synthesis with fine structural control remains challenging, limiting the ability to tailor these materials for specialty and advanced applications. Our laboratory has […]

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Prof. David Limmer Flyer Talk Title: Exciton polarons in lead halide perovskites Abstract: In this talk, I will review some of our recent work concerning the photophysics of the lead halide perovskites. In particular, I will discuss how their soft, polar lattices endow quasiparticle excitations like, polarons and excitons, with a number of anomalous properties. […]

    Flyer: Prof. C. Michael McGuirk Flyer Title: Exploring Flexibility and Connectivity in Synthetic Porous Frameworks Abstract: Synthetic permanently porous materials are poised to play a key role in our transition to a more sustainable society. Owing to their structural and chemical modularity, synthetic frameworks, such as metal–organic, covalent, and hydrogen-bonded networks, are uniquely amenable to […]

    Flyer: Prof. Victor Mougel Flyer Title: Bio-inspired Strategies for Small Molecule Electroreduction Across Multiple Scales Abstract: Enzymatic systems have evolved complex strategies to maximize the efficiency and product selectivity in small molecule activation, including CO2 reduction. Besides unique active sites containing, by definition, earth-abundant elements, enzymes further control catalytic activity through second sphere interactions and […]
