Exploring Energy, Environmental, and Biological Challenges with Mesoporous Nanoparticle Technology

Brian Trewyn

Assistant Professor of Chemistry

Colorado School of Mines

Research areas in the Trewyn group include the synthesis of multifunctional high surface area, porous inorganic and organic materials, expanding the repertoire of characterization techniques of these materials, and application development for heterogeneous catalysis, drug delivery and controlled release, electrocatalysis, and environmental and energy challenges.

The Amazing Nonheme High-Valent Iron-Oxo Reaction Landscape

Lawrence Que, Jr.

Professor of Chemistry

University of Minnesota

Research Group Web Page

Interactions between iron and dioxygen are ubiquitous in Nature. The Que lab focuses primarly on the unique challenges associated with dioxygen activation by nonheme iron in biological systems. The research effort in the Que lab combines biological methods and inorganic synthesis with a range of spectroscopic and kinetic techniques to investigate how iron can activate dioxygen to carry out metabolically important and chemically interesting reactions. The group is divided into three subgroups: high-valent iron-oxo, bioinspired catalysis, and nonheme iron oxygenases.

Imaging biological ions in vivo using responsive MRI agents

A. Dean Sherry

Professor of Chemistry

UT Southwestern Medical Center / UT Dallas

Research Web Page

We are investigating the chemistry of a new class of lanthanide complexes that act as paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (PARACEST) agents for MRI. Our primary interest is to develop agents that report specific tissue biological information such as pH, tissue oxygen levels, redox chemistry, enzyme activity, or metabolite concentrations. Projects vary widely from purely synthetic projects to high resolution NMR studies (hyperfine shifts, multi-dimensional NMR), thermodynamic and kinetic characterization of complexes, and imaging applications.

Welcome

The Seminars page is brought to you by the University Libraries. Our intent is to provide a quick profile of our guest speakers, links to their research group sites, recent publications, author metrics, and other information to enhance your engagement with the guests.

About Author Metrics

Articles For the purposes of metrics on this site, "Total Articles" is limited to articles and reviews in peer-reviewed journals as indexed in Web of Science. Meeting abstracts, proceedings papers, and editorial material are excluded from search results. For this reason the number of publications shown in the profile may be lower than the number found in other sources.
h-index This metric is an indicator of how cited a list of publications is. It represents the number of publications h in a given list that have been cited h or more times. For example, an author with an h-index of 20 has 20 papers that have been cited 20 or more times. It can only increase over time, and is larger for authors who have been active for a longer period of time. This metric is useful because it discounts the disproportionate effect of highly cited and uncited papers.
Web of Science A database system with many bibliometric features. The Core Collection extends back to 1900 and is a great place to search for and analyze citation data for journals.
Google Scholar Citations Authors can set up their personal profile and assign their publications from Google Scholar, and calculate citation metrics. GS covers a wider but unknown range of publications than Web of Science, so metrics can be higher here.
ORCID A free, non-profit project that allows authors to register for a permanent, transferable identifier that eliminates name ambiguity and allows easier tracking of publications and metrics.
Author Disambiguation In some cases it's not possible to reliably isolate a particular author's publications in the Web of Science search interface. This is because of common names that may be shared by many authors. In these cases we must rely on an author's Google Scholar Citations profile, if there is one.
