ChemE Graduate Seminar Series: Michael Tsapatsis
ChemE Graduate Seminar Series
Michael Tsapatsis, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, will be sharing a talk titled: "Vapor and Liquid Phase Deposition and Etching of Thin Films of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Gas Separation Membranes and Lithography for Microelectronics"
Monday, April 29, 2024. Join us in BAG 261 from 11:30am - 12:20pm.
Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold promise as gas separation membranes due to their tunable permeation properties enabled by the structural diversity stemming from the plethora of available metal/organic linker combinations. Although relatively rapid progress for highly selective MOF membranes has been achieved, reliable and scalable thin film processing remains a challenge.
In this talk, I will discuss synthesis and post-synthesis modification methods we have been developing based on vapor phase processing and use of electron-beam-, X-ray- and plasma-induced modifications. These methods establish a…

ChemE Graduate Seminar Series
Lorraine Leon, assistant professor of biomolecular engineering at University of Central Florida, will be sharing a talk titled: "Sequence Driven Design of Biomolecular Condensates."
Monday, March 6, 2024. Join us in BAG 261 from 11:30am - 12:20pm.
Abstract
Biomolecular condensates (membraneless organelles) are liquid droplets consisting of proteins and nucleic acids that form within cells via liquid-liquid phase separation. These droplets are dynamic, have been shown to coalesce within cells, and can form and dissipate in response to biological and environmental signals. Many condensates have multiphase structure where different cellular components are sequestered into different layers, each with their own function.
Here we discuss designing synthetic condensates to understand the role of diverse molecular interactions within proteins on biological phase separation, investigate the encapsulation of small molecules and enzymes, and establish design rules for multiphase format…

ChemE Graduate Seminar Series
Mikhail Shapiro, Max Delbrück Professor of Chemical Engineering and Medical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology, will be sharing a talk titled: "Talking to Cells: Biomolecular Ultrasound for Deep Tissue Imaging and Control of Cellular Function."
Monday, March 13, 2024. Join us in BAG 261 from 11:30am - 12:20pm.
Abstract
The study of biological function in intact organisms and the development of targeted cellular therapeutics necessitate methods to image and control cellular function in vivo. Technologies such as fluorescent proteins and optogenetics serve this purpose in small, translucent specimens, but are limited by the poor penetration of light into deeper tissues. In contrast, most non-invasive techniques such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging – while based on energy forms that penetrate tissue effectively – are not effectively coupled to cellular function. Our work attempts to bridge this gap by engineering biomolecules with the appropriate p…

ChemE Chair's Distinguished Lecture
Precise Materials Synthesis One Layer at a Time: Toward Catalysis and Energy Storage, Stacey F. Bent, Ph.D.
Department of Chemical Engineering
Department of Energy Science and Engineering
Stanford University, Abstract:
With the intensifying global need for alternative energy and fuels, there is strong interest in the development of efficient catalysts that can drive the chemical conversion of renewable resources into useful products, as well as electrochemical systems for energy storage. Due to the central role that interfaces have in both catalytic and electrochemical systems, it is critical to engineer and control these interfaces. This talk will describe our research on layer-by-layer synthetic strategies, namely atomic layer deposition (ALD), to engineer thin film materials used at interfaces in catalysts and batteries with a high level of control over composition, structure, and thickness. We study the conversion of syngas to synthetic liquid fuels and high-value chemicals using supported metal,…
