CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Leveraging confinement and surface effects to control polymer phase behavior and transport phenomena in polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films” (Trevor Devine)

Vagelos Institute for Energy Science and Technology, Room 121 231 S 34th Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Highly loaded, polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films (PINFs) enable the synergistic combination of polymers with the functionality of nanoscale fillers. Extensive studies have found that their behavior deviates markedly from bulk […]

ESE Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Tunable Dielectric Nanocrystal Metasurfaces for Colorimetric Sensing”

Room 313, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Optical metasurfaces enable strong light–matter interactions, making them ideal platforms for high–figure-of-merit (FOM) sensing. When fabricated from colloidal nanocrystal dispersions, these metasurfaces offer unique advantages in fabrication flexibility, reconfigurability, and […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Computational Strategies for Efficiently Sampling Conformational Changes in Solvated Macromolecules” (Akash Pallath)

Amy Gutmann Hall, Room 414 3333 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, United States

Abstract: Solvated macromolecules such as proteins and polymers undergo conformational changes in response to stimuli such as pressure, temperature, pH, ligand binding, and post-translational modification. These transitions are fundamental to […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Computational Analysis of Colloidal Self-Assembly with Interaction Heterogeneity” (Po-Ting Wu)

PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Micron-scale colloidal particles with short-ranged attractions, e.g., colloids functionalized with single-stranded DNA oligomers, have emerged as a powerful platform for studying colloidal self-assembly phenomena with the long-term goal of […]
