Dr. Gaoxiang Liu, Berkeley Advanced Optical Imaging Platforms for Visualizing Subcellular Dynamics with High Spatiotemporal Resolution and Imaging Macroscale Neural Circuits with Nanoscale Resolution Life is an intricate and dynamic entity, rooted in the complex interactions of molecules and subcellular structures within cells and across multicellular systems. The advancement of light microscopy techniques has significantly […]
Dr. Justin Lee, Yale Abstract: Metal ions are ubiquitous in biology & materials and aid in facilitating many chemical transformations. For instance, iron–oxido and –hydroxido species are proposed to be key intermediates in oxidative processes catalyzed by non-heme iron proteins. To investigate the properties of both mono- and bimetallic cores, I have developed a symmetric […]
Dr. Grace Panetti, Princeton Combining photophysics and inorganic synthesis to target small molecule activation and production: From methane to ammonia The transformation of small molecules into more valuable and complex materials represents a persistent challenge of chemistry. Often the activation of these small molecules, such as methane and dinitrogen, is made difficult due to both […]
Dr. Bryan Changala, Harvard Abstract: Molecules are amongst the most complex objects that can be controlled and studied at the individual quantum state level. In this talk, I will introduce some of the extraordinary advances made in the last decade by the application of AMO physics tools, including cavity-enhanced optical frequency comb and microwave techniques, […]
