CBE Seminar: “Backbone Modifications in Peptide Natural Products” (James Link, Princeton University)

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: The posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in RiPPs (ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides) dictate their 3D structure and their bioactivity. An underlying structural feature of many RiPPs is macrocyclization, installed […]

MSE Seminar: “Kagome Metals and Their Unusual Electronic Properties”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

In this talk, I will discuss new inroads in the study of electronic order within classes of metals built from kagome lattices or networks of corner sharing triangles.  The electronic […]

MSE Seminar: “Quantum Materials: A View from the Lattice”

Wu & Chen Auditorium

Connecting theoretical models for exotic quantum states to real materials is a key goal in quantum materials science.  The structure of the crystalline lattice plays a foundational role in this […]
