[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [qip] meeting time

by Edward Farhi

Dear Quanta We had our meeting today and two times are on the table for regular meetings. The two times are Mondays 11:15 and Tuesdays at 11:00. In each case we expect the meeting to go for an hour plus maybe a little bit. Please let me know if either of these times is bad for you. No need to email and say they are both good. In a couple of days I will say which is the better of the two time slots.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] ANNOUNCEMENT: Excitonics Seminar, TUES, Feb. 1

by Cathy Bourgeois

Please forward to your groups ____________________________________________________________________ Center for Excitonics Seminar Series Announcement Tuesday, February 1, 2011 3:00 PM RLE Conference Room: 36-428 Mihaela C. Stefan, University of Texas at Dallas "Benzodithiophene Based Semiconducting Polymers for Organic Photovoltaics" Abstract Semiconducting polymers containing benzodithiophene with alkyl phenylethynyl substituents have been synthesized by Stille coupling. The fused central ring allows the incorporation of substituents on the central benzene core, while maintaining planarity of the two thiophene units. In addition, the symmetric nature of the benzodithiophene core eliminates the need to control the regioregularity during the polymerization process. Polymers containing pentyl, decyl and hexadecyl solubilizing alkyl substituents have been synthesized and their opto-electronic properties have been investigated. The synthesized polymers were used as donors in bulk heterojunction solar cell devices. Bio Mihaela C. Stefan is Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at University of Texas at Dallas. She is also holding an affiliate position in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of Texas at Dallas. She received her BS in Chemical Engineering, and her MS and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry from Politehnica University Bucharest, Romania. She worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Matyjaszewski's group at Carnegie Mellon University from 2002 to 2003. In July, 2003, she joined McCullough's group at Carnegie Mellon University to work on the synthesis of block copolymers containing polythiophenes. Mihaela joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Texas at Dallas in August 2007. In 2009 she received the NS&M Outstanding Teacher Award which is given annually at UT Dallas based on nominations from students. She received the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from NSF in 2010. Her research group is developing novel polymeric materials for organic electronics and for drug delivery systems. Light refreshments will be served The Center for Excitonics is an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science and Office of Basic

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Elad Harel tomorrow.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, Elad Harel's talk is tomorrow. I was telling people about it at the Excitonics sub group meeting. It is at 4 PM. He is the candidate that is a postdoc of Greg Engel working on ultrafast methods.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Update on Group Travel Policy

by Anna B. Shin

Dear Group, The Group Travel Policy on the wiki has been updated. We have come to find out that the University does not allow flight insurance to be a reimbursable expense. If you choose this optional fee, we cannot reimburse you. Thanks, Anna Anna B.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Meeting with Matteo Cavalleri, associate editor of Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Physics

by Roberto Olivares-Amaya

Dear group: Many of you will probably see Matteo's (see info. below) talk on the EFRC meeting, but if you want to talk with him one-on-one, we have a time slot on Thursday the 27th from 2.30-3.30 PM. Please let me know if you are interested. Roberto MATTEO CAVALLERI, Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Physics Title: The Life Course of your Academic Paper from a Journal Editor's Perspective Abstract The life course of your academic paper from a journal editor’s prospective Your hard work in the lab has finally paid off, it is time to write down your results and send them to an academic journal. What happens to your paper after you submit it? Who is deciding on its fate? What is the role of the journal editor and the editorial office? How does the peerreview process work and is it really important? Who are the referees of your paper? How do scientific journals work? How do they finance themselves? This introductory lecture will cover these and other aspects of scientific publishing from a journal editor’s perspective. We will also discuss authors’ best practices when writing the papers, what to consider when choosing where to publish your work and how measure the impact of your paper after its publication. Bio Dr. Matteo Cavalleri is the Associate Editor of the Journal of Polymer Science: Polymer Physics (Wiley). Before joining the “other side” of scientific publishing, initially working in the Editorial Office of the journals family ‘physica status solidi’ , he co-authored circa 20 scientific papers in the fields of theoretical and physical chemistry, based on the research carried on during his PhD at Stockholm University and PostDoc at the Fritz-Haber-Institut of the Max-Planck-Society in Berlin.
