[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Back to work.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, Some administrative things for 2009: a) Next time there is a break, send Anna all your schedules. I don't know when everybody is coming back. b) Give Anna your calendar. I need this so I know when to find you. c) As you return, please schedule all of you (including undergraduates) a meeting with me in the next month. I need to touch base with everyone by the end of the month. d) Group meeting is mandatory. I have not seem many of you in group meetings last semester, and that is a point of worry. Greetings, Alan Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Assistant Professor Harvard University | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Mathematica 7

by Ivan Kassal

Dear group, If you want to be able to send Mathematica calculations to your iPhone, have a look at Mathematica 7. The Windows version can be downloaded off the FAS IT website, whereas for I have a CD containing the Linux version. As before, the Harvard license number is L2482-2405, which you can type into register.wolfram.com to activate your copy of Mathematica. Ivan

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Center for Excitonics Seminar Series Announcement

by rtavilla＠rle.mit.edu

Center for Excitonics Seminar Series Announcement The Center for Excitonics will be starting its seminar series in 2009 ( http://www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics). The Center is sponsoring a series of energy-related lectures from scholars and colleagues in the private sector who are working in the field. The first lecture is scheduled in January. We invite you to join us and to forward this information on to others who might be interested in attending this and other seminars. Title: Exploring Electron Transfer in Organic Semiconductors Presenter: Prof. Troy Van Voorhis Organization: Department of Chemistry, MIT Date: January 28, 2009 Time: 3:00 - 4:00pm Place: 36-428 Refreshments: Yes URL: http://www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics/vanvoorhis-012809.html Abstract Electron transfer reactions are the centerpiece of artificial photosynthetic complexes, organic LEDs and essentially all of redox chemistry. In particular, electron transfer rates govern the efficiency of exciton formation and dissociation in organic semiconductors. This talk will highlight ongoing work being carried out in our group aimed at accurately simulating the reaction dynamics in these systems. Specifically, we will focus on the electronic structure problem inherent in describing electron transfer: How do we make connections between a phenomenological picture like Marcus theory and more rigorous electronic structure techniques? How can we model the disorder inherent in organic solids? Bio Professor Van Voorhis graduated from University of California, Berkeley in 2001 with a PhD in Chemistry. After two years as a posdoctoral fellow at Harvard, he started as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at MIT. He became an Associate Professor in 2008. Professor Van Voorhis' research focuses on the use of theory and modeling to understand the dynamics of electron motion in complex environments. His primary interests include the fundamental theory of electronic excited states, the description of electron transfer and the simulation of reactions that involve more than one electronic state. These processes are at the heart of several technological applications, including organic LEDs, artificial photosynthesis and molecular electronics. Professor Van Voorhis held the Paul M. Cook Career Development Chair in Chemistry, is a Sloan Fellow, a David and Lucille Packard Fellow and the recipient of a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] The best for 2009.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, I wish you all the best for 2009. I think we all have many good things coming next year as our team evolves, matures, and we all learn together. Working with you in 2008, was the best year for me. I thank you all for your enthusiasm, energy and efforts. Looking forward to seeing you in early January!
