DESCRIPTION:Dr. Brett A. Helms\nThe Molecular Foundry\nLawrence Berkeley N
 ational Laboratory\nChE-605 - Highlights in Energy Research seminar series
 \n\nIn the past\, active materials and other components in energy devices 
 have largely been discovered by chemical intuition and by analogy to natur
 al systems. As physical models of complex materials phenomena get into the
 ir stride alongside increasingly robust computing prowess\, it is now poss
 ible to invert the process of materials design. To that end\, I will prese
 nt our work in using materials genomics screens to guide the design of new
  polymeric materials as ion-selective membranes\, as binders\, and as reco
 nfigurable charge-transporting molecular networks. Our efforts validate th
 eoretical predictions with deep experimental insight\, and will be showcas
 ed in the context of electrochemical energy storage. I will also outline f
 oundations on which to build further our understanding of the transport of
  energy carriers within and along the surfaces of these materials\, and ho
 w to redirect and amplify the interfacial transport using molecular switch
 es. There remains much to be learned about the origins of their adaptive a
 nd dynamic properties\, and how these feed back across multiple length and
  time scales.
