About the Seminar: Lithium-ion batteries are an omnipresent aspect of the modern world and are found in the majority of consumer electronic devices. Although lithium-ion batteries can store a lot of charge, this technology is limited in the power it can provide and requires expensive and isolated feedstock materials. Alternative battery technologies like 3D batteries […]

About the Seminar: The presentation covers research from the Autonomous Materials Systems Group (AMS Group) at the UIUC Beckman Institute to advance lifecycle control in high-performance polymers and composites. These formidable challenges benefit from the diverse expertise and shared goals of our collaborative, interdisciplinary team. I’ll begin with an overview of concepts like self-healing polymers, […]

About the Seminar: Organophosphorus chemistry is an essential component of agrochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and metal-catalyzed transformations. The air-sensitivity of many phosphines limits the transformations and functionality that can be achieved after incorporation of phosphorus. New methods that functionalize organophosphorus substrates diversity the types of structures that are accessible. This talk will focus on using phosphorus as […]

About the Seminar: Hydrocarbons of all shapes and sizes are found throughout the various stages of star- and planet formation. Recently, using radio astronomical observations, a variety of cyclic- and even polycyclic hydrocarbons have been detected in the very cold (10 K) Taurus molecular cloud. These detections challenge our understanding of the chemical formation mechanisms […]

About the Seminar: Of the nine first row transition metal ions five are essential elements for human beings, three are known to impact biological processes, and one is relatively innocuous. Considering the prevalence of metals the biological activities of these elements are important. Indeed, some of them can be used with great success for therapeutic […]

About the Seminar: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) are efficient electrode materials for photoelectrochemical (PEC) energy conversion applications, although bulk TMD electrodes are generally more efficient than nanoflake TMD thin films. The disparity in PEC performance is generally attributed to charge carrier recombination at defect or edge sites. Recently, doping heterogeneity has been proposed as an […]
8/28/24 at 4:00pm in Lory Student Center 306-308
Sponsored by the Department of Psychology and the Psychology Department Diversity and Inclusion Team. Hors D’oeuvres will be served following the speaker from 5:00pm-5:45pm.
8/22/24 at 12:00pm in Chemistry Research 401
About the Seminar: Quantitative analysis of biological systems and associated components is crucial in advancing our understanding of modern biological sciences. In this talk, I will share our effort in integrating analytical chemistry, bioengineering, and material chemistry for constructing assays for quantitative bioanalysis. Specifically, I would first describe a Chip-DIA strategy for streamlined single-cell proteomic […]

Coherence transfer (CT) describes dynamic pathways in which nontrivial system-bath coupling leads to the interconversion of quantum superpositions, representing a quantum mechanical analog of population relaxation.1 Time dependent spectroscopic techniques such as transient absorption and two-dimensional spectroscopies previously identified signatures of CT in processes ranging from charge transfer in photosynthetic proteins2 to vibrational relaxation in […]
