Andrew Namanji (AbbVie Inc.) Jarred Pickering (Howard & Howard Attorneys PLLC)
CGSO sponsored Alumni in Industry Talk
This semester, our "Alunmi in Industry" seminar features two speakers, Dr. Andrew Namanji (Dr. Jeff Peng, 2009) from AbbVie INc., and Dr. Jarred Pickering (Dr. Rich Taylor, 2015) from Howard & Howard Attorneys PLLC. They will give a talk on their career pathways and provide professional development tips that would be helpful to step into industry. Postdocs and graduate students interested in careers in industry are highly encouraged to attend. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided. This event is co-sponsored by the Department and Chemistry and Graduate Student Organization (CGSO)

Physics Colloquium: Prof. Dervis Vural
Evolution of specialization and social cooperation in dynamic fluids
Prof. Dervis Can Vural
Department of Physics
University of Notre Dame
Put a single microbe in a puddle, take a stroll for a few billion years, and when you are back, you might find something as astonishing as a coral reef or a rainforest. Somehow, over time, species radiate into novel ones, their inputs and outputs diversify, and their needs and provisions mingle by a process that appears entropic in nature. How do species start depending on one other, how do these interactions change over time, and what role does the laws of physics play in this process? In this talk I will present analytical and computational descriptions of how the transport properties of a fluid determine whether the evolution of species will be driven towards individualism, social cooperation, specialization, or extinction. I will end my talk by proposing ways to tailoring the interaction structure of a microbial community by manipulating flow patterns and domain geometry.

CBE REILLY Lecture I: Sharon Glotzer: Self Assembly and the Entropic Bond
Professor Glotzer’s research on computational assembly science and engineering aims toward predictive materials design of colloidal and soft matter, and is sponsored by the NSF, DOE, DOD and Simons Foundation. Among other notable findings, Glotzer invented the idea of “patchy particles,” a conceptual approach to nanoparticle design. She showed that entropy can assemble shapes into many structures, which has implications for materials science, thermodynamics, mathematics, and nanotechnology. Her group’s “shape space diagram” shows how matter self-organizes based on the shapes of the constituent elements, making it possible to predict what kind of material—glass, crystal, liquid crystal, plastic crystal, or quasicrystal—will emerge.
