Professor Kevin Noonan Seminar – CMU

1093 Shelby Hall 250 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Professor Kevin Noonan from Carnegie Mellon University will present a seminar. Designing Conjugated Polymers and Macrocycles, A Case Study with Furan   Abstract In this talk, I will highlight some of our recent explorations into conjugated polymers and macrocycles which are of interest for organic electronic devices. I will focus on the benefits and opportunities which arise from using furan as a building block for conjugated materials since it is one of a few aromatics which can be derived directly [...]

Dr. Svetlana Kilina Seminar – NDSU

1093 Shelby Hall 250 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Dr. Svetlana Kilina from North Dakota State University will present a seminar. Impact of Covalent Functionalization of Nanostructures on Their Optical Properties: Computational Insights   Abstract: "I will present current research of my group focused on computations of photo-excited processes at organic-inorganic interfaces in covalently functionalized nanomaterials, such as quantum dots (QD) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Recent focus on assemblies of the QDs functionalized by various organic and metal-organic dyes is dictated by their promise to serve as a key [...]

Dr. Dmitri Kilin Seminar – NDSU

1092 Shelby Hall 250 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

Dr. Dmitri Kilin from North Dakota State University will present a seminar. Light-to-matter interaction integrated with ab initio molecular dynamics   Abstract: Several aspects of electromagnetic field to matter interaction are addressed by computational modeling of transitions between ground and excited state potential energy surfaces, driving molecular system away from the equilibrium. Photoinduced bond breaking events are enhanced for molecular systems placed in the center of resonant microcavity via formation of a bound matter-to-field polaritonic state. A description of matter-to-electromagnetic [...]

Dr. Ken Suslick Seminar- Univ. of Illinois Urbana Champaign

1093 Shelby Hall 250 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United States

The Chemical Effects of Ultrasound Emeritus Professor Ken Suslick from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will present a seminar. Dr. Ken Suslick's Group Page The Chemical Effects of Ultrasound Abstract: Fundamentally, chemistry is the interaction of energy andmatter. Surprisingly, there are relatively few ways of putting energy into molecules. High intensity ultrasound has found numerous applications in driving chemical reactions and in the preparation of unusual materials, creating the field of sonochemistry. The chemical effects of ultrasound originate from acoustic [...]
