Dr. Stephanie Brock, professor of chemistry at Wayne State University, will present a seminar 4:30-5:30 p.m. today (Monday, April 13) in Room 126 Schrenk Hall. The seminar is titled “The Role of Synthetic Levers for Control of Phase and Size in Nanoscale Transition Metal Pnictides: Consequences for Catalytic and Magnetic Properties.”
Brock’s research concentrates on experimental materials chemistry including nanomaterials, solid state chemistry and aerogels. Her lecture will conclude with a discussion of the potential generality of the synthetic “levers” uncovered and the promise of nanostructured pnictide phases for addressing critical technological needs in the 21st century.
