Professor Daniel G Nocera, 22nd SLU-MilliporeSigma speaker
Professor Daniel G Nocera, of the Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology at Harvard University, is the 22nd SLU-MilliporeSigma Lecturer. He will deliver two lectures on February 24th and 25th. Both are open to the public.
- Monday, February 24th, at 4:00 pm
The Bionic Leaf: Surpassing the C- and N-Fixation Processes of Nature
Attend in person at The Sanctuary (MPR 100), Il Monastero Banquet Center, 3050 Olive St
or via Zoom with passcode 149311 - Tuesday, February 25th, at 10:00 am
Super-Reducing and Super-Oxidizing Reagents for Photoredox Methods
Attend in person at Laclede Auditorium, 2909 Laclede Ave or remotely. Either way requires pre-registration by February 19th.
Daniel G Nocera is recognized for his discoveries in renewable energy, photo- and electro-redox catalysis, radical enzymology, cancer diagnostics, cyborg cells, quantum-spin liquids, and molecular tagging velocimetry. He pioneered the field of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) and used it to develop the “artificial leaf” and the “bionic leaf”, leading to efficient artificial photosynthesis and renewable ammonia production. He has won numerous awards, including the United Nations Science and Technology Award, and he was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time in 2009.
