Sustainability in the Chemicals Sector: From Green Synthesis to Global Systems Location: 305 Shillman Hall Abstract: The chemicals sector is undergoing a transformation driven by decarbonization, shifting feedstocks, circularity, and increasing demand for low-carbon, non-toxic products. Globally, chemicals production is responsible for approximately 5% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, stemming from fuel combustion, process emissions, […]
Life in a tight spot: Spying on bacteria in complex spaces Location: Snell Engineering Center 168 Abstract: Bacteria are arguably the simplest form of life; and yet, as multi-cellular collectives, they perform complex functions critical to environment, food, health, and industry. What principles govern how complex behaviors emerge in bacterial collectives? And how can we […]
Hybrid Semiconductor Nanomaterials Location: 305 Shillman Hall Abstract: Hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductor nanomaterials – including colloidal quantum dots (QDs), 2D halide perovskites, and metal-organic chalcogenolates (MOCs) – are excitonic materials with applications ranging from solar cells to light-emitting devices to quantum computing and quantum cryptography. In these emerging materials, the combination of quantum and dielectric confinement, […]
Probe the Dynamic Interfaces of Beyond Lithium-ion Energy Storage Systems Location: 305 Shillman Hall Abstract: Rapid growth of technology in the past few decades has spurred a demand for advanced energy storage devices. The invention of a more advanced battery system with higher levels of performance will be a groundbreaking discovery in the rechargeable battery […]
