DESCRIPTION:Vanessa Wood\nBio : Vanessa Wood currently heads the Laborator
 y for Nanoelectronics at ETH Zurich\, where she is an assistant professor 
 in the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering.  
 In 2012\, she was awarded the Intel Young Faculty Career Honor Award.  Be
 fore joining ETH Zurich in 2011\, she was a postdoctoral associate in the 
 laboratory of Professor Yet-Ming Chiang and Professor Craig Carter in the 
 Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT\, performing resear
 ch on novel lithium-ion battery systems.  She received her MSc and PhD fr
 om the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. 
  Her graduate work was done in the group of Professor Vladimir Bulovic and
  focused on the development of optoelectronic devices containing colloidal
 ly synthesized quantum dots.  While a MS/PhD student\, she held the Natio
 nal Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship and a Nati
 onal Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship.  She also holds a BS in Appl
 ied Physics (2005) from Yale College.\nThis talk will introduce our work d
 eveloping and implementing new analytical approaches to study optoelectron
 ic and electrochemically active materials.  The first part of the talk wi
 ll focus on open questions related to the behavior of colloidal quantum-do
 t (QD) based solids.  Examples will include the use of capacitive structu
 res for investigating the origins of luminescence quenching in colloidal q
 uantum dots and deep level transient spectroscopy to identify trap states 
 and transport phenomenon in solids.  The second part of the talk will foc
 us on electrochemical systems\, specifically our work with synchrotron x-r
 ay tomography to visualize the microstructure of lithium ion battery porou
 s electrodes in order to quantify and understand performance limitations.
