Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Webinars

In this series of webinars, we invite the world’s best minds in chemical science and engineering to share their latest research with our students and faculty. The topics we choose are either the “holy grails in chemical science” or the rapidly emerging areas at the interface of Chemistry, Engineering, Biology, Materials Science, and Physics. The series will be beneficial, especially for graduate students and early-career researchers. Join us and learn from the world’s leading scientists how the fundamental building blocks of matter—atoms and molecules—can be manipulated to benefit Earth and its inhabitants.
