Description:About the seminar:\n\nSurfaces and interfaces play a crucial ro
 le in chemical and physical phenomena\, such as heterogeneous catalysis an
 d reactions. At the surface or interface of water\, the hydrogen-bonded ne
 twork is abruptly interrupted\, giving rise to fascinating interfacial pro
 perties. These specific properties are the driving forces for many biochem
 ical\, environmental and geochemical processes. Here\, I will discuss our 
 recent work probing interfacial molecules of two relevant aqueous interfac
 es: the surface behavior of perfluorinated pollutants and adsorption of sm
 all organic molecules on ice surfaces\, utilizing surface-specific sum fre
 quency generation spectroscopy. These molecular-level insights can inform 
 the rational design of remediation technologies as well as knowledge of th
 e fate and transport of environmental pollutants\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\n
 Jenée Cyran received her B.S. degree in Chemistry from Allegheny College 
 in Pennsylvania. She earned her PhD in 2015 from Colorado State University
  in the group of Amber Krummel. She was an Alexander von Humboldt postdoct
 oral fellow in the Molecular Spectroscopy Department at the Max Planck Ins
 titute for Polymer Research (MPIP) in Mainz\, Germany. Currently\, she is 
 an assistant professor at Boise State University where her research is foc
 used using nonlinear spectroscopy to probe interfacial structure and dynam
 ics of aqueous interfaces. 4:00 pm
