Nickel Photocatalysis
by Abigail Doyle, UCLA
Abstract: This lecture will describe my group’s program in nickel photoredox catalysis, including our development of a suite of synthetic methods for C(sp3)–H and C(sp3)–O activation and subsequent cross coupling. A recent focus has been to elucidate the photophysics and photochemistry of Nickel complexes relevant to catalysis. These studies will be presented, including how they have informed our understanding of Ni-photoredox catalyzed reactions and the development of novel catalytic methods.

Why don’t plants get sunburn?
by Gabriela Schlau-Cohen, MIT
Abstract: Photosynthesis powers most life on Earth. In green plants, excess absorbed energy, i.e. sunny days, can damage the photosynthetic machinery. Plants have evolved a feedback loop that triggers photoprotective energy dissipation in the chlorophyll-containing light-harvesting proteins. In solar energy, fluctuations in sunlight give rise to a well-known “intermittency problem.” Photoprotective dissipation solves this problem in nature, yet its inefficiencies limit biomass yields. Simulations suggest targeted and specific optimization would improve yields by up to 30%, but such efforts require an improved mechanistic understanding. Open questions include the number and location of dissipation sites, the photophysical pathway of dissipation, and the (re)organization of the plant membrane. We develop and apply methods in single-molecule spectroscopy, ultrafast…

Advanced Diagnostics using Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry
by Ahmed Hamid, Auburn University
Abstract: There is a projection of 10 million deaths per year by 2050 due to antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the need for rapid detection and accurate identification of microorganisms. Therefore, developing fast robust diagnosis techniques will increase the recovery rates of patients suffering from various infections and will lead to significantly reduced antibiotic resistance. The membrane of bacteria contains varying lipid compositions that can be utilized as diagnostic biomarkers for disease. However, full characterization of lipids remains analytically challenging due to their enormous structural diversity and complexity (e.g. varying acyl chain positions and/or double bond geometries). This presentation will demonstrate the advantages of interfacing liquid chromatography and structurally based ion mobility with tandem…

Studies of Natural and Artificial Photosynthesis
by Victor Batista, Yale
Abstract: Mechanistic investigations of the water-splitting reaction are fundamentally informed by structural studies of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) and biomimetic catalytic complexes. Many physical techniques have provided important insights into the OEC structure and function, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry (MS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy applied in conjunction with mutagenesis studies. However, experimental studies have yet to yield consensus as to the nature of the reaction mechanism responsible for oxygen evolution. Computational modeling studies, including density functional (DFT) theory combined with quantum mechanics/mo…
