CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “High-Pressure Reactions on Metals and Metal Oxides in Mesoporous Silica” (Ching-Yu Wang)

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: SBA-15, a type of mesoporous silica, is an attractive support for heterogeneous catalysts due to its high surface area, one-dimensional uniform pore structure, and high thermal stability. However, modifying SBA-15 with metal and metal oxide using conventional wetness incipient impregnation is challenging. In this thesis, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) was used to prepare catalysts […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Quantitative Analysis on Enhancer-Mediated Dynamic Gene Regulations in Drosophila Embryos” (Hao Dennis Deng)

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

Abstract: Proper organism development relies on precise gene regulation, where genes are expressed at specific times, locations, and quantities. Non-coding DNA sequences called enhancers play a crucial role in this process by interacting with their target promoters to initiate transcription and regulate gene expression. While the mechanisms of enhancer-mediated gene control have been extensively studied, […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Investigation of Thin-film Cerium-based Oxides and Single Atom Catalysts Prepared by Atomic Layer Deposition” (Kai Shen)

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Metal oxides play a critical role in heterogeneous catalysis, acting as active catalysts in a wide range of reactions from dehydrogenation to selective and complete oxidation. However, many catalytically active metal oxides suffer from low surface areas in their bulk form, particularly after high-temperature calcination. This thesis focuses on cerium-based oxides due to their […]
