Hello Boston's Excitonic Community - Due to inclement weather conditions in early Feb, we have shifted the first Boston Area Excitonics Seminar to *March 9th at 12 Oxford St, Division Room*. Food will be served at 6:00 pm. Our speaker, Prof. Will Tisdale, will be presenting on “Excitoncs, Disorder, and Nonequilibrium Transport in Semiconductor Nanomaterials.” If you plan to attend, please register here <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MK9KBPQ> so that we have an accurate head count for food. Please register again, even if you had registered for the previous event. Feel free to forward this e-mail to any interested colleagues. We look forward to seeing you at the seminar! Doran and Christoph *Abstract * In semiconductor nanomaterials, spatial confinement and structural heterogeneity can present transport behavior that deviates markedly from the bulk phase. Using a combination of ultrafast spectroscopy, timeresolved optical microscopy, and kinetic Monte Carlo simulation, I will show how these effects manifest in assemblies of colloidal quantum dots (QD) and atomically thin two-dimensional semiconductors. As an area of emerging focus in my group, I will highlight some of the intriguing and counterintuitive aspects of exciton transport, annihilation, and interfacial transfer in 2D materials. *Doran I.
