Description:About the Seminar\n\nBecause of their size\, engineered nanopar
 ticles display an exciting range of chemical and physical properties\, an
 d thus\, have great potential for a variety of applications. While the ea
 rly years of applied nanoscience brought concerns about the potential tox
 icity of nanomaterials\, in the last decade\, the research community has 
 largely established that nanoparticles do not display unique toxicity thre
 ats. Not only are most engineered nanomaterials unlikely to represent a s
 pecific threat to biological or ecological systems\, but they actually re
 present some likely solutions to long-standing biological or ecological c
 hallenges. This seminar will explore the proactive design of several engi
 neered nanoparticles for sustainability-promoting applications\, includin
 g inorganic nanomaterials for energy applications and organic nanomateria
 ls for imaging applications.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nProf. Christy Haynes 
 is the Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the University of Mi
 nnesota where she leads the Haynes Research Group\, a lab dedicated to app
 lying analytical and nanomaterials chemistry in the context of biomedicine
 \, ecology\, and toxicology. Professor Haynes completed her undergraduate 
 work at Macalester College in 1998 and earned a Ph.D. in chemistry at Nort
 hwestern University in 2003 under the direction of Richard P. Van Duyne. 
 Before joining the faculty at the University of Minnesota in 2005\, Haynes
  performed postdoctoral research in the laboratory of R. Mark Wightman at 
 the University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill. Among many honors\, she ha
 s been recognized as an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow\, a Searle Scholar\, a Drey
 fus Teacher-Scholar\, and a National Institutes of Health “New Innovator
 .” In addition to wide recognition for her research contributions\, incl
 uding over 200 peer-review publications\, she has been recognized at UMN a
 s an Outstanding Postdoctoral Mentor and the Sara Evans Faculty Woman Scho
 lar/Leader Award. Professor Haynes is currently the Associate Head of the 
 Department of Chemistry\, the Associate Director of the National Science F
 oundation-funded Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology\, and an Associate 
 Editor for the journal Analytical Chemistry. 4:00 pm
