SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar: Christopher Grieco
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Bagley Hall (BAG)Campus room: BAG 260Accessibility Contact: chem59x@uw.eduEvent Types: Academics\,Lectures/SeminarsLink: https://www.auburn.edu/cosam/faculty/chemistry/grieco/index.htm \n"Probing Charge Carriers in Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conducting Polymers"Assistant Professor Christopher Grieco – Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry\, Auburn UniversityHosts: Munira Khalil and David Ginger  \nConjugated polymers continue to emerge as next-generation electronic materials for mixed ionic-electronic conduction applications\, ranging from biomedical sensing to energy storage. However\, their development is hampered by a lack of rational design principles due to missing fundamental knowledge about how ion-charge interactions and dynamic polymer nanostructure influence charge transport and storage along polymer chains. In this talk\, I will first discuss how we are exploiting the ultrafast dynamics of photoexcited charge carriers to provide details on their nanoscale environment and trapping behavior. Then I will show how in situ electronic and vibrational spectroscopy of polymer electrodes can be used to track their complex nanoscale dynamics during charging\, revealing insights into nanostructures that support the formation of mobile carriers. \n  \nDr. Chris Grieco is an assistant professor of chemistry at Auburn University\, where his research group develops laser spectroscopy methods to probe charge carriers in conducting polymers used in electrochemical applications ranging from bioelectronics to batteries. Prior to Auburn\, Chris earned his Ph.D. in chemistry at Penn State University where he worked with Prof. John Asbury studying how to improve exciton and charge carrier dynamics in organic molecules and polymers for solar cells. Chris then worked with Prof. Bern Kohler as a postdoctoral scholar at the Ohio State University\, where he developed ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy methods for probing the elusive structure and photochemistry of the eumelanin biopigment.

SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar: Jay Foley
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Chemistry Building (CHB)Campus room: CHB 102Accessibility Contact: chem59x@uw.eduEvent Types: Academics\,Lectures/SeminarsLink: https://chemistry.charlotte.edu/directory/jay-foley-phd \n"Looking out for the tiniest lights: controlling chemistry and quantum states by confining light to small volumes" \nPolariton chemistry exploits the strong interaction between quantized excitations in molecules and quantized photon states in optical cavities to affect chemical reactivity.  Molecular polaritons have been experimentally realized by the coupling of electronic\, vibrational\, and rovibrational transitions to photon modes\, which has spurred tremendous theoretical effort to model and explain how polariton formation can influence chemistry.  I will present recent work in my group aimed at making the accurate computational modeling of molecular polaritons routine.  In particular\, I will describe a class of approaches called ab initio cavity quantum electrodynamics that treat molecular electronic degrees of freedom and photon degrees of freedom on equal quantum mechanical footing\, and can provide atomistic detail into the structure and reactivity of molecules under strong light-matter coupling. I will discuss applications of those techniques to modeling chemistry under electronic strong coupling\, and in using cavity-molecule interactions to generate entanglement. I will also highlight some pedagogical developments that we have developed to introduce students to computational molecular science tools within the context of strong light-matter coupling. \nAssociate Professor Jay Foley – Department of Chemistry\, University of North Carolina CharlotteHost: Niri Govind

SUMMARY:George H. Cady Endowed Lecture in Inorganic Chemistry: Hemamala Karunadasa
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventAccessibility Contact: chem59x@uw.edu \nEvent Types: Academics\,Lectures/Seminars  \nEvent sponsors: The George H. Cady Endowed Lectureship in Chemistry was established in memory of Prof. Cady by his family and many friends and colleagues in 1994. George H. Cady earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas and Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley\, in 1930 under the direction of Joel H. Hildebrand. Cady held positions at the University of South Dakota\, M.I.T.\, U.S. Rubber Company\, and Pittsburgh Plate Glass before joining the UW as assistant professor in 1938. He worked on the Manhattan Project (1942-43)\, chaired the Department of Chemistry (1961-65)\, and became professor emeritus in 1972. Prof. Cady was a distinguished inorganic chemist who\, among many honors\, shared the first Prix Moisson\, a prestigious prize named after the father of fluorine chemistry. \nLink: https://chemistry.stanford.edu/people/hemamala-karunadasa   \nGeorge H.

SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar: Wei Min
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Bagley Hall (BAG)Campus room: BAG 260Accessibility Contact: chem59x@uw.eduEvent Types: Academics\,Lectures/SeminarsLink: https://www.chem.columbia.edu/content/wei-min \n"Lighting up chemical bonds for biomedicine"Professor Wei Min – Department of Chemistry\, Columbia UniversityHosts: Daniel Chiu\, Joshua Vaughan\, Dan Fu\, Bo Zhang \nInnovations in imaging have revolutionized life science and medicine. Among various imaging modalities\, vibrational imaging has emerged as a major technology\, by visualizing the fundamental chemical bonds inside living cells and tissues with high sensitivity\, speed\, specificity and resolution. In this talk I will first introduce recent advances in theoretical understanding and technical innovations of vibrational imaging. In particular\, I will discuss stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy\, which can amplify the otherwise feeble Raman scattering signal by up to 100 million times. Then I will highlight new research areas and applications\, including (1) single-molecule chemical spectroscopy\, (2) single-particle nanomedicine and nanoplastics\, (3) super-resolution chemical nanoscopy\, (4) super-multiplexed imaging for brain mapping\, and (5) vibrational spatial omics.   \nWei Min received his B.S. from Peking University in 2003 and Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2008 studying single-molecule biophysics with Prof. Sunney Xie. After continuing his postdoctoral work in Xie group\, Dr. Min joined the faculty at Columbia University in 2010\, and was promoted to Full Professor there in 2017. Dr. Min's contribution has been recognized by a number of honors\, including Biophotonics Technology Innovator Award from SPIE (2023)\, Raman Award for the Most Innovative Technological Development (2022)\, Craver Award of Vibrational Spectroscopy (2022)\, Scientific Achievement Award from Royal Microscopical Society (2021)\, Pittsburgh Conference Achievement Award (2019)\, Analyst Emerging Investigator Lectureship (2018)\, Coblentz Award of Molecular Spectroscopy (2017)\, the ACS Early Career Award in Experimental Physical Chemistry (2017)\, Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (2015)\, Alfred P.
