DESCRIPTION:Zoom link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/86886750910\n\nAbstract:\n
 \nLuminescent materials exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescenc
 e (TADF) are now critical components of many of the most efficient organic
  light emitting diodes (OLEDs) reported. Characterized by both prompt and 
 delayed fluorescence lifetimes\, TADF emitters are designed to minimize th
 e energy gap between the lowest singlet and triplet excited states (ΔEST)\
 , giving internal quantum efficiencies of up to 100% in OLEDs using purely
  organic species. While the vast majority of TADF research has focused on 
 OLEDs thus far\, new applications for TADF materials are beginning to emer
 ge which take advantage of their unique photophysical properties. This lec
 ture will describe how polymers exhibiting TADF can give luminescent senso
 rs for temperature and oxygen with some of the highest sensitivities known
 . We also describe how TADF can be used for time-gated biological imaging\
 , providing high contrast by removing the background autofluorescence of t
 he cell. Finally\, the design and synthesis of near-infrared TADF emitters
  and ‘hyperfluorescent’ polymers will be described.\n\nBio: \n\nZachary M.
  Hudson is an Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in Sustainable
  Chemistry at the University of British Columbia. Zac completed his B.Sc. 
 at Queen’s University in Kingston\, Ontario. He remained at Queen’s to pur
 sue a Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Suning W
 ang\, focusing on the development of luminescent materials for organic ele
 ctronics. During his Ph.D. he also held graduate fellowships at Jilin Univ
 ersity in China as well as Nagoya University in Japan. He then moved to th
 e University of Bristol as a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Ia
 n Manners\, followed by a second Postdoctoral Fellowship at the California
  Nanosystems Institute at the University of California\, Santa Barbara wit
 h Prof. Craig Hawker. He joined the faculty at UBC in 2015\, where he hold
 s the Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Chemistry. He leads a research 
 program in synthetic materials chemistry\, studying topics ranging from so
 lutions for energy-efficient displays and light sources to the self-assemb
 ly of electronic materials on the nanoscale. He was the recipient of the C
 SC Emerging Materials Investigator and ACS Polymer Science and Engineering
  Young Investigator awards in 2020.\n
