DESCRIPTION:Zoom link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/89133733565\n\nAbstract:\n
 \nMetal clusters\, with exact numbers of metal atoms and stabilizing ligan
 ds\, have become a rapidly emerging new area of research. The field offers
  a great deal of opportunity from new synthesis methods to challenging cha
 racterization to photophysical studies of their unique optical and electro
 nic properties.\n\nThe structure of several stable clusters will be discus
 sed\, as well as several newly isolated materials. The unique properties o
 f clusters will be a main focus in this seminar\, especially as they can b
 e tuned by controlling the atomic composition of the materials. These dist
 inctive properties of individual clusters have made them attractive candid
 ates for biomedical imaging\, catalysis\, photonic devices\, and light har
 vesting. Recent findings in cluster properties as they relate to each of t
 hese applications will also be highlighted.\n\nBio:\n\nDr. Kevin Stampleco
 skie is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Queen’s U
 niversity. Trained as a photochemist\, he received his Ph.D. with Prof. J.
 C. Scaiano at the University of Ottawa and performed postdoctoral research
  at the University of Notre Dame with Prof. Prashant Kamat. In 2019\, Dr. 
 Stamplecoskie was awarded the Thermo Fisher Scientific Spectroscopy Award 
 and in 2011 the Gerhard Closs Award in Photochemistry\, in recognition for
  contribution to photochemistry\, its use in synthesizing novel materials\
 , and controlling the structure-function relationship of nanomaterials by 
 photochemical methods. Stamplecoskie’s research on synthesizing metal mate
 rials has a strong focus on linking the tunable/controllable synthesis of 
 metal nanomaterials with desired optical/electronic properties. Dr. Stampl
 ecoskie is also passionate about promoting science\, performing chemistry 
 “magic” shows for children and people of all ages!\n\nAs the Principal Inv
 estigator of ‘The Stamplecoskie Group’ at Queen’s University\, Dr. Stample
 coskie has fostered a productive and collaborative work environment compri
 sed of talented students from diverse backgrounds. The broad goal of the g
 roup is to develop new photonic materials with tunable optical properties 
 for application in several research focus areas: light-harvesting and sola
 r energy\, advanced optical electronics\, chemical sensing and biomedicine
 . The engineering of new photonic materials relies heavily on the fundamen
 tal understanding of material properties\, which is often referred to as t
 he 'structure-function relationship'. In the pursuit of novel photonic mat
 erials\, there is a culture of excitement for understanding materials at t
 he molecular level and using this understanding to drive innovation.\n\nTh
 e Stamplecoskie Group is a mix of both graduate (Ph.D. and M.Sc.) and unde
 rgraduate students and consists of both domestic and international student
 s from a variety of countries\, including France\, Brazil\, and India. The
 se students come from a range of chemistry backgrounds\, in organic and in
 organic synthesis\, as well as in cell design and electrochemistry\; with 
 one common goal of advancing photonic materials research.\n
