Description:About the Seminar: \n\nResearch in the Cossairt lab is focused
  on the solution-phase synthesis of chemical systems capable of sunlight a
 bsorption\, color-pure emission\, charge transfer\, and fuels generation. 
 Towards this end we seek to address fundamental challenges in the field of
  inorganic chemistry\, specifically controlling the composition\, structur
 e and function of nanoscale light absorbers and catalysts\, and controllin
 g the interactions between them. This talk will focus primarily on our eff
 orts to understand the precursor conversion reactions\, nucleation and gro
 wth mechanisms\, and approaches to the post-synthetic transformation of in
 dium phosphide quantum dots for use in solid-state lighting and displays. 
 This research has catalyzed a number of other areas of investigation inclu
 ding the synthesis of other pnictide-based nanomaterials for use in light 
 harvesting and catalysis that will also be discussed.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nAbout 
 the Speaker:\n\nBrandi Cossairt was born and raised in Miami\, Florida. Sh
 e is a first-generation college graduate\, having obtained her B. S. in Ch
 emistry from the California Institute of Technology in 2006. Brandi went o
 n to pursue graduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
 under the guidance of Professor Christopher C. Cummins and was awarded her
  Ph.D. in 2010. She then continued her academic career as an NIH NRSA Post
 doctoral Fellow at Columbia University between 2010 and 2012 working with 
 Professor Jonathan Owen. Brandi joined the Department of Chemistry at the 
 University of Washington as an Assistant Professor in 2012 and was promote
 d to Associate Professor with Tenure in 2018. She has received a number of
  awards for her research including a Sloan Research Fellowship\, a Packard
  Fellowship\, an NSF CAREER Award\, a Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award\, and 
 the National Fresenius Award from the American Chemical Society. Outside o
 f the lab Brandi is an Associate Editor at the ACS journal Inorganic Chemi
 stry and is the co-founder of the Chemistry Women Mentorship Network (Chem
 WMN). 4:00 pm
