Schwartz, Chair Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering University of Colorado Boulder "Single Molecule Resolution of Heterogeneous Interfacial Dynamics" Tuesday, March 29, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: Interactions between molecules and surfaces lead to complex and highly-varied interfacial behavior, where heterogeneity may arise from spatial variation of the surface/interface itself or from molecular configurations (i.e. conformation, orientation, aggregation state, etc.). These phenomena greatly impact technologies and applications including biomaterials, separations (chromatography and membrane filtration), heterogeneous catalysis, and biosensing, among others. The direct observation of adsorption, interfacial diffusion, and desorption of individual fluorescent molecules permits the characterization of heterogeneous interfacial behavior in ways that are inaccessible to traditional ensemble-averaged methods. Moreover, spectral information can be used to simultaneously track molecular configuration (aggregation or folding state). Single-molecule tracking experiments have traditionally been limited by small sample sizes, leading to poor statistical significance and a lack of sensitivity to rare populations. However, advances in high-throughput tracking methods now enable hundreds of thousands of molecules to be followed in a given experiment. This approach has recently been used to characterize heterogeneous molecule-surface interactions including: complex mechanisms of interfacial transport, spatially dependent interactions, surface-mediated intermolecular association, and others. Bio: Dan Schwartz is Chair of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the Glenn L. Murphy Endowed Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. He has been a professor at CU-Boulder since 2001. He was previously an Assistant and Associate Professor of Chemistry at Tulane University from 1994-2000. Dan received his Bachelor's Degree (in Chemistry and Physics) and his PhD (in Physics) from Harvard, and subsequently performed postdoctoral fellowships in Chemical Engineering at UC Santa Barbara and Physical Chemistry at UCLA. Dan's research interests focus on interfacial phenomena with specialties in surface modification, surfactant phenomena, biotechnology, liquid crystals, single-molecule microscopy, and biomimetic catalysis. He has published roughly 180 peer-reviewed manuscripts that have been cited approximately 7000 times. His recognitions include the NSF CAREER award, the Dreyfus Foundation Teacher-Scholar award, the CU-Boulder Faculty Assembly Award for Excellence in Research, and election as a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Chemical Society. Dan has been a Senior Editor of the journal Langmuir, the American Chemical Society's journal of surfaces and colloids since 2004 and is currently the Chair of the ACS Colloid and Surface Chemistry Division (COLL). He was the founding Director of the Tulane Science Scholars program (an enrichment program for High School students) and of the Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates Program in Functional Materials at CU-Boulder.

Reminder Graduate Abstract/Announcement Dr. Jeff Morris Tuesday, March 8th
by Jackson, Christa N 07 Mar '16

[cid:image006.png@01D172FA.D86A9870]<https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE> Purdue University School of Chemical Engineering GRADUATE SEMINAR SERIES Dr. Jeff Morris Levich Institute and Department of Chemical Engineering The City College of New York "Extreme Transitions of Flow Properties in Mixtures: Discontinuous Shear Thickening and Hydrate Jamming" Tuesday, March 8, 2016 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. FRNY G140 Reception at 2:30 p.m. in Henson Atrium Abstract: This talk will discuss extreme transitions in flow properties in multiphase mixtures. The first case is abrupt or "discontinuous" shear thickening (DST), which occurs as shear rate is increased in suspensions at large solid fraction. For many years, DST has been known, and popular videos of running on "oobleck" (cornstarch suspended in water) are found on-line. A simulation based on a quite minimal model-including viscous, electrostatic repulsion and contact frictional interactions between particles-has been shown to reproduce DST as the rate is increased. In the second case, properties of hydrate-forming water-in-oil emulsions will be described based on our experiments. This is a critical problem in petroleum pipeline transport: here a transition occurs due to a phase transition as time progresses. Hydrates are solid crystalline compounds formed by water and small organic molecules (we focus on cyclopentane) at low temperatures; they form a solid layer at the water-oil interface of emulsified drops. Morphology of the hydrate under emulsified conditions is typically needle-like and porous and is able to "jam", much like the undesirable plugging of pipelines. The rheological properties will be correlated to direct imaging of the hydrate crystal growth process. Bio: Ph.D. Caltech, 1995. Postdoc: Shell Research BV (KSLA, Amsterdam), 1994-1995; Georgia Tech: Assistant Professor, 1996-2002; Senior Scientific Advisor, Halliburton 2002-2004; City College of New York, CUNY: Associate Professor (2005-2008), Professor (2008-Present), Chair of Chemical Engineering (2013-Present), Acting Director, Levich Institute (2015-Present). Research by the Morris group is based on development of a fluid mechanical description appropriate for complex fluids, particularly suspensions and colloids, with recent focuses on the interaction of frictional interactions with viscous forces in suspensions, and the interaction of particles with fluid interfaces. Applying simulation and experiment, combined with ideas of statistical and continuum mechanics, the research seeks to develop understanding of flow-induced microstructure and the resulting mixture rheology. Of particular interest are rheologically-induced phenomena unique to mixtures, including bulk particle migration. In addition, the group has active projects in gas-hydrate emulsions. He has held Visiting Professor positions at Brown University (Applied Math) the Université de Paris Sud (at the Laboratory FAST) and Université de Provence (at the Laboratory IUSTI), and served as a visiting Director of Research at the CNRS, all in France. He authored the text A Physical Introduction to Suspension Dynamics, with E. Guazzelli.
