Zoom Session

Prof. Kwanpyo Kim (김관표 교수), Yonsei University, Physics This seminar meeting will be done over zoom at this link: https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/91273049368?pwd=RFBMVzNtR3RDSjJRQ1F2TTdPanc5dz09 The atomic and molecular assembly processes on the surface of two-dimensional (2D) layered crystals have gained significant research interest for fabrication of well-ordered nanostructures and vertical heterostructures based on 2D crystals. The structure and quality…

Prof. Eric A. Stach, Univ of Pennsylvania, MSE The activity and lifetime of heterogeneous catalysts are intimately linked with their structural stability in reactive environments. However, it can be challenging to understand and predict how reactive environments lead to nanoparticle coarsening via center of mass motion and Ostwald ripening and how evaporation can lead to…

Timothy V Duncan, PhD, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Food Processing Science and Technology This talk will be changed to a zoom meeting at this url: https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/94420770954?pwd=b0Y5NXZHd2J3R1BCc2ZZNTdrOGVxdz09 Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are an emerging class of materials in which nanoscale fillers are dispersed within a polymer. PNCs have attracted considerable interest as base materials for next…

Prof. Emily A. Weiss, Northwestern, Chemistry & MSE The zoom location for this meeting is https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/99114998107?pwd=M3QwWld3QThIdFRzQXBuUnZ2aUFPdz09 We will discuss the features of colloidal nanocrystals (quantum dots and nanoplatelets) that have enabled record-breaking performance in aqueous CO2 photoreduction and new modes of selectivity in C-C coupling reactions, and look toward the application of quantum dots as…

Dr. Carolin M. Sutter-Fella, LBNL, Molecular Foundry The Zoom link for this event is https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/91622905815?pwd=eDBPNlBIMGQ5ZjNXREp5Q2VNUTQ2dz09 Material synthesis is a very important aspect of humankind's endeavor to discover and create new materials for energy applications. In order to make materials with desired functions we need to know how these functions relate to structure, synthetic variables, arrangement…

Prof. Timothy Johnstone, UC Santa Cruz, Chemistry & Biochemistry Zoom link: https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/92956226569 Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that is endemic to 98 countries and claims tens of thousands of lives each year. Of the handful of drugs available to treat infection with Leishmania spp., two contain the main-group element antimony: meglumine antimoniate and sodium…

Prof. Roya Maboudian, UC Berkeley, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Zoom link: https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/91970796427 There remains a strong need for miniaturized, low-power gas sensors that can be deployed in wireless applications for improved environmental protection, for public health, and for safe and efficient operation of many industrial processes. Leveraging the microfabrication technologies and utilizing innovations in high…

Prof. Luis A. Jauregui, UC Irvine, Physics Zoom link: https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/92258130783 Van der Waals heterostructures constructed of 2-dimensional (2-D) materials such as single layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have sparked wide interest because of their large excitonic binding energy, allowing the exploration of novel quantum optical effects in a solid-state system and new opto-electronic devices. In…
