Dear Group, Geordie rose just confirmed his visit to the lab. Today at 4.00 PM or so, I will try to bring him to the division room or in front of my office. I will pick him up at Harvard square in a few minutes. Looking forward to interacting with anybody that wants to do so. A.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Reminder: Today at 5 pm -- the Future of Energy with Maxine Savitz

by Center for the Environment

Finding secure, safe and reliable sources of energy to power world economic growth will be one of the great challenges of this century. The Harvard University Center for the Environment invites the Harvard community to take up the challenge by participating in this ongoing series of discussions. THE FUTURE OF ENERGY Fall 2009 "America’s Energy Future: Challenges and Opportunities" Maxine Savitz, Vice President, National Academy of Engineering and Retired General Manager, Technology Partnerships, Honeywell, Inc. TODAY 5:00pm Science Center, Lecture Hall D One Oxford St., Cambridge, MA In the last two years the role of energy in national security, climate change, and long-term U.S. economic vitality has been at the forefront of national attention. The National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering has just completed a series of reports which assessed the potential of a wide range of technologies to transform energy production, distribution, and use with the goal of increasing energy security and reducing adverse environmental impacts. The major portion of the talk will be a discussion of the finding that increased adoption of energy-efficiency technologies is the nearest term and lowest-cost option for moderating the nation’s energy demand over the next decade. With an accelerated effort to employ a variety of efficiency technologies in the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors, The U.S. could reduce its energy use by 30 percent while saving money by 2030. Maxine Savitz is retired general manager of Technology Partnerships at Honeywell, Inc. and has more than 35 years of experience managing research, development and implementation programs for the public and private sectors, including in the aerospace, transportation and industrial sectors. From 1979 to 1983, she served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Conservation in the US Department of Energy. She currently serves as vice-president of the National Academy of Engineering. Dr. Savitz serves on advisory bodies for the Sandia National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and is a member of the board of directors of the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy. She served on the National Academy’s committee on America’s Energy Future and was vice-chair of the Energy Efficiency committee. She was recently appointed to the President’s Council of Advisors for Science and Technology. Dr. Savitz received a B.A. in chemistry from Bryn Mawr College and a Ph.D. in chemistry for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Future of Energy lecture series is sponsored by the Harvard University Center for the Environment with generous support from Bank of America. All of the lectures are free and open to the public.

Please forward this information on to others who might be interested in attending this and other center seminars. Title: Theoretical Spectroscopy of Low Dimensional Systems Presenter: Professor Angel Rubio Organization: Nano-Bio Spectroscopy Group and ETSF Scientific Development Centre, Universidad del Pais Vasco UPV/EHU and Centro Mixto CSIC-UPV/EHU Date: November 11, 2009 Time: 2:00 - 3:00pm Place: Harvard University Pfizer Hall - Mb-23 12 Oxford Street Cambridge Center URL: http://www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics Seminar URL: http://www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics/rubio-111109.html Abstract There has been much progress in the synthesis and characterization of nanostructures however, there remain immense challenges in understanding their properties and interactions with external probes in order to realize their tremendous potential for applications (molecular electronics, nanoscale opto-electronic devices, light harvesting and emitting nanostructures). In this talk I will review the recent advances within density-functional based schemes to describe the excite state properties of low-dimensional structures (semiconducting nanostructures and biomolecules) including both electron and ionic degrees of freedom. We will address both the linear and non-linear response regimes. We will describe a new method to address the electron-ion dynamics within the Ehrenfest scheme where no explicit orthogonalization is necessary and we can increase of the time step while keeping the system close to the Born-Oppenheimer surface. The method is easily implemented and scales very well with the system size. Applications to the excited state dynamics in some organic molecules will be used as test cases to illustrate the performance of the approach. In particular we will show the effect of electron-hole attraction in those systems. Pros and cons of present functionals will be highlighted and provide insight in how to overcome those limitations by using many-body perturbation theory (i.e. GW based self-energy approaches including excitonic effects at the Bethe-Salpeter level). The present developments constitute a basic ingredient for the development of the European *Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility* <http://nano-bio.ehu.es/>. Work done in collaboration with A. Castro, M. Marques, X. Andrade, J.L Alonso, Pablo Echenique, L. Wirtz, A. Marini, M. Gruning, C. Rozzi, D. Varsano and E.K.U. Gross. Bio Angel Rubio is a Professor of Condensed Matter Physics in the Department of Materials of the Faculty of Chemistry in the Basque Country University (UPV/EHU), Scientific Vicepresident of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility, and Distinguished Visiting Scientist at the Fritz Haber Institute der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin . His research activity in the fields of theory and modeling of electronic and structural properties in condensed matter and on developing novel theoretical tools and computational codes to investigate the electronic response of solids and nanostructures to external electromagnetic fields is internationally recognized and he hasreceived numerous honors and awards. Among them we would like to mention National Prize for the best Spanish undergraduate student of Physics (1989), faculty honor prize for the best PhD thesis in Physics (1992), Royal Spanish Physical Society Prize “Outstanding young researchers” (1992); Fulbright Fellow (1993); 2001 JSPS Invitation Fellow Program for Research in Japan; 2004 Sir Allan Sewell Fellowship School of Science, Griffith University, Australia; 2004 Fellow of the American Physical Society: Materials Science Division; 2005 Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award, Humboldt Foundation, Germany; DuPond Prize on Science, 2006.
