DESCRIPTION:Dr. Peter Smith\, Northwestern University\n\nAbstract\nDevelop
 ing catalysis platforms for efficient chemical transformations requires ei
 ther building upon useful empirical evidence or studying unexplored design
  spaces. Importantly\, both approaches benefit from merging different rese
 arch fields to solve new challenges. Here\, I will discuss how materials d
 esign parameters can be applied to molecular electrocatalysts in the form 
 of porous supramolecules. Then\, I will describe how nanotechnology can tr
 ansform materials synthesis by shrinking the volume of reactors. This can 
 yield thousands to millions of catalyst candidates on a single chip for te
 sting\, and varied molecular sensors prove to be critical in rapidly testi
 ng and identifying top performing materials catalysts.\n\nBio\nPeter Smith
  is a Postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University working with Prof
 . Chad Mirkin in the Department of Chemistry and the International Institu
 te for Nanotechnology. He completed his graduate studies in Chemistry at t
 he University of California\, Berkeley with Prof. Chris Chang where he dev
 eloped supramolecular porphyrin catalysts and redox mediators for electroc
 hemical small molecule conversion. His current research merges nanofabrica
 tion and molecular sensing to synthesize and screen thousands to millions 
 of new catalysts per experiment\, helping to accelerate our materials disc
 overy workflow.\n\nFree Event - Limited seats\, please register to attend:
