Chemistry & Biochemistry Colloquium | A Few Research and Teaching Examples of Chemical Kinetics, Feb. 20

The Chemistry & Biochemistry colloquium series presents Dr. Jixin Chen discussing "A Few Research and Teaching Examples of Chemical Kinetics" on Feb. 20 from 4:10 to 5:05 p.m. in Walter 135.

Chen is Associate Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Ohio University.

Abstract : In this seminar, our own faculty Prof. Chen from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Ohio University will share his teaching and research experience at OHIO. He will share a few examples of using chemical kinetics models to pull out useful information from various systems, specifically, teaching undergraduate students to use kinetic models to analyze COVID-19 spreading speed; using kinetic models to guess photo-oxidation reaction mechanism of perovskite quantum dots; and using diffusion model to predict adsorption reaction kinetics and bulk reaction orders. This is a lot of information to cover so he may skip a lot of details. He is open to further discussions after the seminar.
