Understanding the molecular-scale processes governing energy conversion and the interactions between light and matter has long been a key area of chemical research due to their far-reaching importance. These processes underlie electrochemical technologies, spectroscopy, photocatalysis, and the control of chemical reactions at the molecular-scale. In recent years, there have been extensive breakthroughs in the development of theoretical and computational tools for modeling energy conversion and light-matter interactions. This symposium strives to bring together researchers using theory and simulation to solve a wide range of problems in this area. Potential topics include,but are not limited to, electrochemistry and electrolyte systems, photocatalysis, light-matter interactions from weak to strong coupling, spectroscopy, and modeling of excited states and relaxation processes.

Nano- and bio-materials research offers an educational student-centered experience at the intersection of chemistry, biology, and materials engineering with the full spectrum of applications ranging from sensors, energy storage, catalysis, to replacement tissues. The diverse synthesis and application opportunities often demand that undergraduate and graduate students conduct research that extends well beyond a typical single subject area of expertise necessitating inter-, multi- and trans-disciplinary approaches. Submissions that address teaching through nano/bio-materials research, as well as fundamental studies in nano/bio-materials, from both the faculty and student perspective, are welcome.

This symposium will highlight progress in the Material Sciences area improved by the experience of learning chemistry at the secondary and postsecondary level taught in engineering and non-engineering chemistry programs. A large number of educators are interested in the differential impact that Material Sciences offer as teaching/learning tools in science programs that do not specifically offer chemical engineering. Research in this critical area has demonstrated this approach to be an effective and futuristic education alternative to support minority and underserved students including veterans, gender, racial/ethnic, disability, socioeconomic, etc., as they progress through the field to complete chemistry courses and degrees. Such pedagogies foster research diversity since undergraduates can be engaged in multiple projects used as catalyst activities to foster material science skills for minority and underserved students from varying backgrounds, providing these students an opportunity to acquire abilities in macromolecular design of materials, including synthesis and/or characterization of biomaterials, biomarkers, dye synthesized solar cell construction (DSSC), biofuels, ceramics, resins. etc. Abstracts from both faculty and students engaged in such projects are welcome; graduates of such programs are also encouraged to submit an abstract to this session.

For many students, chemistry is not an easy subject to study especially if the traditional lecture is the only mode of instruction. As a results, many resources have been published to improve student’s retention and learning using student-active pedagogies. This symposium seeks innovation in active learning as well as methods and strategies of active learning that really work, to improve and increase academic performance in introductory chemistry lecture and lab. As such, submissions should intend to report on how active learning and problem based learning is incorporated in every lecture and/or lab. In addition, include strategies to create a more student-centered learning environment. In this symposium, abstracts are requested that illustrate evidence for the efficacy of student-active learning pedagogies, and how it can be used to engage and motivate students and ultimately help them learn chemistry concepts. Examples of different methods implemented of active learning are encouraged for introductory lecture and/or lab chemistry courses.

COVID-19 has resulted in significant disruption of teaching and experiential learning activities along with major changes in research policies and administration. The aim of this symposium is to attract educators and researchers to a common platform so that there can be an exchange of ideas and we can all benefit from each other’s experiences. In addition to the innovations in teaching laboratory courses and course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), this symposium will also focus on the alternative approaches adopted for students that may have missed these experiences during the remote/hybrid transition at the onset of COVID-19.

Nobel Laureate Thomas Cech once said, “Costly and time-consuming, undergraduate research is the most ineffective educational experience we give our undergraduates. It’s also the most life-transforming experience for many of them, and the one that best develops skills that employers seek.” As non-doctoral students have myriad time commitments external to laboratory research, it can be challenging to design and execute research projects leading to publishable units of information. This session, sponsored by CHED, BIOL, MEDI, and ORGN, offers a broad forum where successful research experiences involving non-doctoral students can be discussed. One session will involve the description of these topics from the perspective of a research director while a second session will provide an opportunity for students and research directors to sequentially describe their experiences. Student presentations will primarily focus on the findings and interpretation of data while research directors may spend significant time describing how their design of projects impacted success with undergraduates before discussing the relevant research findings.

Reaction centers (RCs) are macromolecules made up of protein-based scaffolds that arrange small molecule fluorescent pigments into an array capable funneling excitation energy to a special pair of pigments where the primary charge separation occurs. This results in a cascade of electron transfer steps that are often coherent leading up to a stable and diffusible quinol, a reduced quinone. Purified RCs, with or without additional antenna complexes, have been immobilized on various electrode surfaces, and their light-dependent current generation has been examined. This symposium aims at disseminating more recent advances in the field including various artificial pigments and peptide complexes to and graphene-based electrodes.

When a cell is unable to degrade abnormal and/or unnecessary proteins, these proteins can accumulate within the cellular environment. The accumulation of proteins within a cell is implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases,including several malignancies and neurodegenerative disorders. Scientists are exploring how to use protein degradation to approach cancer research in a new way—effectively leveraging the body’s natural system to target and remove the pathogenic proteins and maintain homeostasis.
