Seminars & Colloquiums

Graduate Student Chathura Wijethunga in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department here at Clarkson University will present about Novel Aqueous Phase Synthesis of Ni-Cu Bimetallic Nano-Catalysts at Room Temperature: Metallic nanoparticles offer an excellent foundation for developing tailored catalytic materials because of their structure-function tunability. Controlling the morphology, size and composition is a powerful strategy to optimize […]

Graduate Student Colby Hladun in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department here at Clarkson University will present about Non-canoncical dsDNA structure, Guanosine Quadruplex modulates cGAS- STING activation: The sensing of foreign and self-cytosolic DNA is a crucial role of innate immunity regulated by cytosolic DNA sensing pathways such as the cGAS-STING pathway. cGAS intitiates innate immune signalling

Luis Zepeda-Ruiz Materials Science Division, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Will present a talk titled: Computational Materials Engineering – Applications at a National Laboratory Abstract: The development of computational models for the simulation and prediction of the structure, properties, and behavior of heterogeneous materials is advancing our understanding of materials engineering at an increasing rate. In

“Interfacial Modifiers to Balance Ionomer/Water/CatalystInteractions in Electrochemical Energy Devices” Joshua Snyder AbstractThe growth and viability of deep decarbonization through the hydrogen economy is dependent upon scientificadvances that will address the existing political, regulatory, and technological barriers that currently hinderelectrochemical energy technologies. The strong correlation between device-level performance and catalyticelectrode activity/durability highlights the criticality of identifying

Graduate Student, Lawrence Tucker in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Clarkson University will present on Leveraging Chlorination – Based Mechanism for Resolving Subcellular Hypochlorous Acid.  Abstract:  Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is crucial for pathogen defense, but an imbalance in HOCl levels can lead to tissue damage and inflammation. Existing HOCl indicators employ an oxidation approach, which

Smartphone-based Iris Recognition Technology Naveenkumar Venkataswamy PhD Candidate, Dept. of ECE Clarkson University Abstract: As smartphones play an increasingly important role in our daily lives, the need for stronger and more reliable security features is becoming essential. Iris recognition, a technology known for its high accuracy, has traditionally relied on near-infrared (NIR) imaging, which requires specialized

AbstractWastewaters contain ammonia nitrogen that could potentially supply 30% of global nitrogen fertilizer demand if recovered using a viable technology. One way to recover ammonia from wastewater is to convert ammonium in ammonia by elevating the solution pH, instead of using biological processes for ammonia removal. However, conventional air stripping approaches limit their broader implementations
