[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Free stuff (only for group members)

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear all, If you search “Inman Moving sale” in Craigslist, let me know if you like anything. For any group member it is FREE. If I were you I would snatch at least the red kneeling chair, the toys for those with kids, etc. Just email my boss dtakata(a)gmail.com for autosnatching anything you like. More stuff is being posted under the same title all the time. Cheers Alan -- Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Harvard University | 12 Oxford Street, Room M138 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu | http://about.me/aspuru

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Reminder: ITAMP lunch seminar - Prof. Federico Capasso, Harvard University (today, 12:00 PM)

by Bekenstein, Rivka

*ITAMP Lunch Seminar* *Speaker:* Prof. Federico Capasso (Harvard University) *Date:* Thursday, March 8th *Time:* 12:00-1:00 pm Includes Pizza. *Title: *Flat Optics : from Metalenses to Structured Light *Abstract: *Arrays of optically thin, sub-wavelength spaced optical elements (metasurfaces) have major potential for wavefront shaping through local control of the phase, amplitude and polarization of light [1]. Flat optics has emerged from this approach [2] with the goals of replacing refractive lenses in most applications requiring aberrations’ correction [3,4] as well as conventional phase plates used in polarization optics [5] and last but not least of providing a new path to the creation of structured light.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] No group meeting tomorrow

by Ian Kivlichan

Hi all, We won't have group meeting tomorrow because of the Inaugural Chemistry and Chemical Biology Research Symposium all day tomorrow. We'll resume group meetings on the 22nd after spring break next week. All the best, Ian

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] EXCITONICS SEMINAR: Alessandro Troisi, Tues. Mar 6 at 4:30, 36-428

by Catherine M Bourgeois

Center for Excitonics presents: Less is more: model reduction for exciton and charge transport in molecular materials March 6, 2018 at 4:30pm/36-428 Alessandro Troisi University of Liverpool/Department of Chemistry [http://www.rle.mit.edu/excitonics/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/troisi4.jpg] We present a common strategy to address questions concerning the charge and energy transfer in organic molecular materials and aggregates. This is based on the construction of reduced (predictive) models from (detailed) atomistic one. We will argue that, somewhat counterintuitively, by removing chemical detail from the model one can more easily perform chemical predictions or derive chemical rules. The topic considered in this lecture include (i) the definition of a map of all organic semiconductors for charge transport; (ii) the desirable properties of electron acceptors in organic solar cells; (iii) the degree of structural fine tuning that can be observed in natural light harvesting complexes. Alessandro Troisi received his PhD in Physical Chemistry in 2001 from the University of Bologna for his research on the charge transfer reactions in condensed phases. As a postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University in Mark Ratner's group, he worked on single molecule electronics. During this time, he also studied electron transport through flexible molecules and developed a model for inelastic tunneling spectroscopy. In 2004-2005, he was a research fellow at the University of Bologna studying the charge transport mechanism in organic solid crystals. In October 2005, he joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick as a Research Council UK Fellow and in 2010 as a Professor until 2017. Currently, he is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool. He has received numerous awards including the Marlow Award of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the ERC - Starting Investigator Award (2009) and the ERC - Consolidator Grant (2013).
