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. Sloan Research Fellowship (2013)\, and NIH Director's New Innovator Award (2012).   \n

SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar: Prof. Andrew M. Rappe
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Chemistry Building (CHB)Campus room: CHB 102Accessibility Contact: gingerrc@uw.eduEvent Types: Academics\,Lectures/Seminars"Hybrid Perovskites as a novel platform for optoelectronics"Professor Andrew M. Rappe – Department of Chemistry\, University of PennsylvaniaHost: David GingerThe perovskite crystal structure hosts a wealth of intriguing properties\, and the renaissance of interest in halide (and hybrid organic-inorganic) perovskites (HOIPs) has further broadened the palette of exciting physical phenomena. Breakthroughs in HOIP synthesis\, characterization\, and solar cell design have led to remarkable increases in reported photovoltaic efficiency. However\, the observed long carrier lifetime and PV performance have eluded comprehensive physical justification. The hybrid perovskites serve as an enigmatic crossroads of physics. Concepts from crystalline band theory\, molecular physics\, liquids\, and phase transitions have been applied with some success\, but the observations of HOIPs make it clear that none of these conceptual frameworks completely fits. In this talk\, recent theoretical progress in understanding HOIPs will be reviewed and integrated with experimental findings. The large amplitude motions of HOIPs will be highlighted\, including ionic diffusion\, anharmonic phonons\, and dynamic incipient order on various length and time scales. The intricate relationships between correlated structural fluctuations\, polar order\, and excited charge carrier dynamics will also be discussed\, along with implications for materials design of next-generation optoelectronic materials design.

SUMMARY:P. C. Cross Endowed Lecture in Physical Chemistry: Maksym Kovalenko
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Bagley Hall (BAG)Campus room: BAG 154Accessibility Contact: chem59x@uw.eduEvent Types: Lectures/SeminarsEvent sponsors: This lecture is supported by the Paul C. Cross Endowed Fund\, dedicated to the memory of Professor Paul C. Cross by his family and many friends and colleagues in 2002.\nProf. Cross was a distinguished physical chemist who led the effort to elevate the UW Department of Chemistry to national prominence when he served as professor and chair from 1949 to 1961. Prof. Cross promoted departmental growth through the expansion of the graduate program\, his emphasis on the acquisition and construction of revolutionary new instrumentation\, and his encouragement of faculty to secure external federal funding to expand their research programs.Link: https://kovalenkolab.ethz.ch/research.html \nP. C. Cross Endowed Lecture in Physical Chemistry \n"Quantum light sources using colloidal perovskite quantum dots"Professor Maksym Kovalenko - Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences\, ETH ZurichHost: David Ginger \nLead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) – the latest generation of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) – are intrinsically bright emitters without the need for epitaxial wide-bandgap shells. In recent years\, LHP NCs have emerged as the most intensively studied QD material\, challenging the field's foundational paradigms in nearly every respect. They are the first QDs to exhibit excitonic coherence on timescales comparable to their radiative lifetimes (at cryogenic temperatures)\, thus setting the stage for their use as sources of indistinguishable photons. Their giant oscillator strength effect enables extremely fast emission (lifetimes as short as 60 ps) even in relatively large NCs\, while maintaining single-photon emission. Periodic ensembles of LHP NCs have further demonstrated collective\, accelerated radiative decay – superfluorescence – a phenomenon previously unseen in colloidal systems. The excitonic fine structure of LHP NCs can be readily engineered through shape anisotropy. Furthermore\, by simple near-field coupling to highly chiral plasmonic nanostructures\, their otherwise linearly polarized emission becomes fully chiral\, establishing LHP NCs as the first fully chiral colloidal single-photon emitters. LHP NCs are therefore attractive as scalable\, chemically synthesized quantum dot materials for applications in quantum imaging\, sensing\, communication or even computing. The presentation will summarize the contributions of my interdisciplinary team and our international collaborators\, whose names will be acknowledged in the presentation and accompanying notes.
