Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

We will see how this motivating example relates to the algebraic definition of Gröbner bases and some of their useful properties. Time permitting\, we will see this put in practice by having mathematica solve a (potentially extremely simple) sudoku.

This method also shows significant promise in addressing the global challenge of remediating per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. Viable electrocatalytic processes must use nonprecious materials\, operate in aqueous environments\, consume minimal energy\, and effectively eliminate harmful chemicals\, necessitating a deep understanding of mechanisms and the strategic design of nanocatalysts with controlled properties.\n\nOur research employs pulsed laser in liquids synthesis to develop nanocatalysts with precise surface chemistries\, facilitating a quantitative understanding of electrocatalytic processes\, especially within the electrode microenvironment. We have demonstrated that laser-made earth-abundant mixed-metal nanocatalysts on high-surface-area carbon supports can selectively electrooxidize toluene to benzyl alcohol with high activity. Additionally\, we achieved complete defluorination of various PFAS in aqueous electrolytes using laser-synthesized bimetallic nanocatalysts.\n\nThe unifying theme of our group is to advance the design and fabrication of nanocatalysts for the electrocatalytic generation of reactive species from water\, aimed at sustainable applications. This work is based on a detailed atomistic understanding of catalyst materials\, electrode microenvironments\, and electrocatalytic mechanisms\, with the ultimate goal of promoting environmentally friendly and scalable solutions for chemical manufacturing and water remediation.
