Elucidating Energy Storage in Soft Nanostructures through Versatile Electrochemistry Dr. Joaquín Rodríguez-López Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign My group is interested in exploring the impact of structural and reactive heterogeneity in soft materials for energy storage. New materials and an expanded electroanalytical toolbox is allowing us to discover synergies at the nano and mesoscale for emerging battery technologies. In my talk, I will discuss two systems where nano-scale heterogeneity has an impact on macro-scale performance: [...]

Prof. Tessa Calhoun from the University of Tennessee will present a seminar entitled, "Imaging Complex Systems with Ultrafast Laser Pulses". Abstract Ultrafast laser pulses act as unique probes of chemical behavior and environment due to their short, femtosecond, duration and high peak power. We are exploiting these capabilities in multiple different nonlinear microscopy modalities to answer a diverse set of scientific questions in both material and biological systems. In this talk, I will first describe our work showing how the [...]
