Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Chemical Approaches to Composition and Stability Control of Technology Relevant Materials: Transition Metal Phosphides and Organometal Halide Perovskites

Prof. Javier Vela, from Iowa State University, will present this seminar. Phosphides. A critical aspect of the synthesis and application of nanostructured transition metal phosphides is to control their exact phase and stoichiometry, as these play key roles in determining their optoelectronic and catalytic properties. As a step in this direction, we have studied how the chemical structure and reactivity of a family of commercially available…

Physical Chemistry Seminar Series: Tackling Strong Electron Correlation with Density Matrix Renormalization Group

Princeton University professor Sebastian Wouters will present this lecture. The theory of quantum mechanics was invented nearly a century ago; in principle, it allows for accurate chemical predictions well within experimental bounds. In practice, the corresponding equations are far too complex to solve, since the size of the Hilbert space increases exponentially with the number of electrons. As a result, tremendous effort has been devoted to…

Physical Chemistry Seminar Series: Marissa Estep

Marissa Estep will present "The Methylsulfinyl Radical CH3SO, Characterized Using High-Level Ab Initio Methods."  


Organic Chemistry Seminar Series: Searching for New Reactivity

Prof. Hao Xu, from Georgia State University, will present "Searching for New Reactivity: Iron-Catalyzed Stereoselective Olefin Aminohydroxylation and Aminofluorination Reactions" Numerous pharmaceuticals contain at least one nitrogen atom and many of those nitrogen atoms are directly attached to stereogenic centers. Therefore, synthetic methods that incorporate selective nitrogen atom transfer to readily available hydrocarbons are important…

Bioinformatics Seminar: What's new in Metabolomics?

Art Edison, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology/genetics and researchers with the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, presents this lecture on metabolomics. More on Edison, from the Franklin Chronicles blog: (5/27/15) Metabolomics is the study of chemical processes involving metabolites, and specifically, the system of unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind. The metabolome …


Bioinformatics Seminar: "From comparison with man's best friend to non-cell-autonomous tumor suppression"

Dr. Shaying Zhao will present a seminar: "FROM COMPARISON WITH MAN'S BEST FRIEND TO NON-CELL-AUTONOMOUS TUMOR SUPPRESSION." From Zhao's lab website: My lab is using experimental and computational approaches to study genomic changes occurring during mammalian evolution and disease development.  The goal is to understand the roles of genomic changes playing in these normal and abnormal processes, as well as the mechanism through which these…


Witty and Brilliant

  Image: "Head of a Bull," 1942, Musée Picasso, Paris Update: the Musée Picasso does not, in fact, re-open until summer 2013. So, if you're in the City this summer, I would suggest Beaubourg, or the Musée D'Orsay.
