SUMMARY:October 21\, 2020: Morley award address
DESCRIPTION:Wed. Oct. 21\, 2020 \n\n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n6:00 pm: Executive Committee Meeting\n\n\n7:00 pm: Social time\n\n\n7:15 pm: Morley Award presentation and address\n\n\n\n \nFrom Electron Correlation to Condensed-Phase Spectroscopy:  A Quantum Chemist’s Perspective \nJohn M. Herbert\, Professor\, The Ohio State University\, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry \nThis talk will give an overview of research projects in my group\, which are generally aimed at developing the methodology of computational quantum chemistry.  A significant fraction of our research program is aimed at “computational spectroscopy”\, with examples that include optical spectroscopy of photovoltaic materials\, vibrational and photoelectron spectroscopy at the air/water interface\, and resonance Raman spectroscopy of metalloproteins.  We are also interested in the fundamentals of electronic structure and electron correlation\, and along those lines have been carefully reinvestigating the quantum mechanics of noncovalent interactions.   In so doing\, we are debunking a variety of long-standing myths that are still pervasive in textbooks\, regarding such fundamental topics as π-stacking and hydrogen bonding.  Finally\, we are developing multiscale approaches to the electron correlation problem\, as modern replacements for QM/MM methods\, and have proof-of-concept examples of fully quantum-mechanical calculations in proteins with 1\,000+ atoms\, on modest computational resources. \nRegistration:

SUMMARY:Sept. 16\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:September 16\, 2020 Meeting\n\nPeter Psarras\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n6:30 pm: Executive Committee Meeting\n\n\n7:30 pm: Social time\n\n\n8:00 pm: Talk\n\n\n\n\nZoom link to be emailed ahead of the meeting\nTitle: An Overview of Negative Emission Technologies\nBy Peter Psarras\, Assistant Professor\, Cuyahoga Community College.\n\nAbstract:  It is widely accepted that conventional mitigation efforts\, e.g.\, fuel switching\, energy efficiency\, and carbon capture and storage\, are not enough to protect us from the irreversible effects of climate change. The inescapable reality of a continued atmospheric rise in heat trapping gases necessitates that other solutions must enter the fray\, solutions that drawdown atmospheric CO2 into other reservoirs. This talk will provide an overview of several “negative emission technologies”: solutions that are designed to drawdown and reliably store more CO2 than they emit. Some solutions are quite simple in theory –for instance planting a tree (or a few!) – but complex in long-term management. Other engineered systems are cleverly integrated with existing low carbon heat and electricity to maximize removal potential. A discussion of the benefits and challenges of carbon removal will follow.\n\nBio:  Pete Psarras received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Cleveland State University in 2014 where he worked on computational modeling of catalysts used in Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuel processing. His work since has focused mainly on climate change mitigation\, mainly carbon capture\, utilization\, and – more recently – atmospheric carbon removal. Dr. Psarras joined Cuyahoga Community College in 2018 at the level of Assistant Professor in Chemistry\, where he continues research work as a consultant conducting life cycle assessments and techno-economic analyses of hydrogen production and carbon management systems.\n\nRegistration:

SUMMARY:April 15 - Education Night
DESCRIPTION:Sorry but this event has been cancelled\n\nEducation Night\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule:\n\n\n4:30 pm: Executive Meeting\n\n\n5:30 pm: Social/Networking\n\n\n6:00 pm: Dinner\n\n\n7:00 pm: Awards followed by presentation\n\n\n\n\nTitle: NASA Glenn Research Center’s Facilities and Testing Contributions to the Artemis Mission\nBy Deborah L. Waters\, Chief of the Test Facility\, NASA Glenn Research Center\n\nAbstract:  NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) is at the forefront of testing for the Artemis Mission.  Test facilities and technologies at GRC will help enable the newest mission to the Moon and beyond.  GRC specializes in electric propulsion\, power systems\, thermal/cryogenic management of fluids\, in-situ resource utilization\, space simulation testing and other technologies that are essential to human exploration and habitation going forward.  Under Artemis\, the Orion capsule is currently being tested for the harsh space environment through thermal vacuum\, acoustics and vibration testing at Plum Brook Station in the Space Environments Chamber.  The Gateway will be a Lunar outpost that will enable transfer to the Lunar surface and eventually serve as a gateway to Mars.  The first module of the Gateway is the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) which will provide power to the Gateway\, maintain position and communication between the Gateway and Earth.  The GRC-led PPE contract was awarded to Maxar and relies on testing the electric propulsion thrusters and power processing units for many years at GRC. By 2024\, the next man and first woman will land on the Moon.  Surface power and in-situ resource utilization\, of which GRC plays a vital role in the Agency\, will be technologies needed for efficient and successful habitation of the Moon.  This presentation will discuss the technologies and facilities needed for this exciting next step for NASA Glenn.\n\nBio:  Deb Waters has both her Bachelor’s (1992) and Master’s (2014) in Chemical Engineering from Cleveland State University.  Ms. Waters is currently the Chief of the Test Facility Management Branch\, in the Management Integration Division of the Facilities\, Test and Manufacturing Directorate at NASA Glenn Research Center.  She was the Space Simulation Facility Manager prior to her current position where she worked with many of the chambers that enable electric propulsion\, in-situ resource utilization and power management.  For over fifteen years\, Ms. Waters worked in research in space environmental durability of materials and coatings.  She has been a mentor to dozens of student interns over her 18 years at GRC after being an intern herself at GRC while she was an undergraduate chemical engineering student.  Prior to coming back to GRC\, Ms. Waters worked for Sherwin-Williams developing aerosol coatings and products for Krylon and Sprayon for over seven years.  She is married with two children attending college to become high school teachers (one in chemistry/physics and the other math!).\n\nPlated dinner will be served.\nPlease select between:\nBreast of Chicken Piccata \nOr Marinara Pasta (Vegetarian option)\n\nServed with beverage station\, house salad\, warm rolls and butter\, garlic mashed potatoes and Chef’s Vegetable.  The dessert is Cheesecake with fruit topping.\nPlease RSVP by Saturday April 4th\, 2020.\nRegistration:

SUMMARY:November 13 Meeting featuring Anna Samia
DESCRIPTION:4:30 pm – Executive Committee Meeting\n5:30 pm – Social/Networking\n6:00 pm- Dinner\n7:00 pm- Presentation \nTitle: Nanoengineering of Stimuli Responsive Materials for Biomedical and Environmental Applications \nAbstract:  This talk will center on the chemical design of stimuli responsive nanostructures\, and in particular cover aspects of their development as anti-biofilm agents and as tracers for an emerging biomedical imaging technology known as magnetic particle imaging (MPI). Moreover\, the talk will provide a general overview of the different approaches that have been adopted to improve the performance of nanostructured metal and metal oxide sensors for environmental applications. The performance of the stimuli responsive materials is improved by tailoring the properties of the metal/metal oxide nanostructures through engineering of morphology\, composition\, and nanocomposite design. \nBio:  Anna Cristina S. Samia is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland\, OH. She received her PhD degree in Chemistry from Georgia Institute of Technology and her Postdoctoral training at the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago\, IL. She also worked as a Research Fellow at the School of Medicine at CWRU. Dr. Samia’s research interests center around the synthesis and study of the magneto-opto-electronic properties of intermetallic and metal oxide nanostructures with emphasis on chemical design to achieve desired properties and function. The main applications are in the areas of magnetic imaging and therapy\, nanosensor development\, and environmental nanotechnology. Dr. Samia also serves as the Director of the Women in Chemistry@CWRU Professional Development program and the Chemistry LEAD (Leadership\, Enrichment\, and Academic Development) Scholars program at CWRU.
