Description:Research Seminar Abstract\n\nAdvancements in material science h
 ave shown improvements in fields such as microfabrication\, dye-sensitized
  solar cells\, hydrogels\, and drug delivery systems. As these advances ar
 e being made the underpinning physical properties that drive the self-asse
 mbly mechanisms of these systems are not well understood. To try and under
 stand these self-assembly processes\, two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spe
 ctroscopy can be used. 2D IR is a powerful experimental technique that can
  be used to elucidate the structure and mechanisms of a variety of complex
  molecular systems. 2D IR’s ultrafast time resolution provides femtoseco
 nd to picosecond time resolution of the chemical dynamics of molecular sys
 tems as well as reporting on the structure of molecular aggregates. This t
 alk will focus on 2D IR’s application in understanding the self-assemble
  properties of large aromatic compounds such as violanthrone-79\, as well 
 as phenylalanine based dipeptides. 4:00 pm
