DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nDespite the staggering advances of modern chemistr
 y\, its complexity and scale pale in comparison to the chemistry of Earth'
 s biosphere\, which for billions of years has been dominated by bacteria. 
 Our group is interested in developing tools that can help chemists redisco
 ver and harness the rich and wonderful chemistry presented by bacterial sy
 stems with an eye to finding sustainable solutions to certain pressing mod
 ern-day problems related to energy and environmental-remediation. To this 
 end\, we develop new analytical platforms to study 'living catalytic mater
 ials' with the goal of advancing green chemistry.\n\n\n	In the first part o
 f the talk\, Jesse will demonstrate new methods developed in his laborator
 ies that merge of microfluidics and analytical chemistry to help fuel a ne
 w wave of biofilm research. Presented will be new microfluidic platforms f
 or in situ studies of pH mapping\, electrochemical imaging and mechanical 
 properties. In the second part of the talk\, new results from an electroch
 emical microflow cell will be presented\, which demonstrate the ability to
  optimize the performance of electroactive biofilms in microbial fuel cell
 s at the kinetic level.\n\n \n\n \n\nBio:\n\nJesse Greener graduated from 
 the Chemical Physics program at the University of Waterloo and obtained a 
 Ph.D. in surface science from department of Physics at the University of W
 estern Ontario. His post-doctoral work in the department of Chemistry at t
 he University of Toronto focused on development of microfluidic technology
  with in situ analytical measurements. Before leaving Toronto\, Jesse co-f
 ounded FlowJEM Inc.\, a Toronto-based microfluidics foundry which speciali
 zes in custom prototyping in polymer-based materials. Jesse joined the dep
 artment of Chemistry at Laval University in May 2012. He has been an assoc
 iate professor since 2017\, where he leads an active research group in ana
 lytical microfluidics and biomaterials. He is the winner of the 2013 New R
 esearcher Award from Quebec’s science and technology agency\, and a 2018 h
 igh risk/high reward Audace grant for his work in the area of bioenergy an
 d new microfluidic methods to study of microbiological systems.\n
