The electronic processes that govern their semiconducting properties are strongly controlled by their low dielectric screening, so that excited states, excitons, are often spatially localised and generally show strong magnetic exchange interactions. The exchange interaction presents a challenge for the engineering of efficient OLEDs. Only 25% of electron-hole capture events in the OLED produce emissive spin singlet excitons, and 75% capture events form spin triplet excitons that are not emissive. A number of engineering approaches have been developed to overcome this challenge, including the use of organo-metallic emitters that can show efficient phosphorescence. \n\nWe have been working with spin-radical molecules that show high luminescence yield within the spin doublet manifold, and can be designed so that this \u2018bright\u2019 doublet exciton lies lower in energy than \u2018dark\u2019 higher spin states. These enable efficient OLED operation in the red and near-IR, and can be engineered to show high luminescence yield.\n\nWhen coupled together, either intermolecularly or intramolecularly these spin radical systems show properties of Mott-Hubbard spin systems, where the lowest energy electronic excitation is a charge transfer between antiferromagnetically arranged neighbouring radical sites at the cost of the Hubbard U. This process is radiatively allowed and enables optical write and read of spin. We are exploring how these excited states can be used to assist charge photogeneration in the absence of a donor-acceptor heterojunction, and to engineer spin-optical interfaces that allow easy magnetic field control of luminescence.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nRichard Friend is at the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge. His research encompasses the physics, materials science and engineering of semiconductor devices made with carbon-based semiconductors, particularly polymers. His research advances have shown that carbon-based semiconductors have significant applications in LEDs, solar cells, lasers, and electronics. He explores novel schemes that seek to improve the performance of LEDs and solar cells, using carbon-based semiconductors. His current projects include materials with unpaired electron spins that show novel couplings of spin with luminescence.\n\nProfessor Friend is a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and a Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He has received many international awards for his research, including Laureate of the Millennium Prize for Technology (2010) the Harvey Prize (2011) of the Israel Institute of Technology, the von Hippel Award of the Materials Research Society (2015) and the Isaac Newton Prize of the Institute of Physics (2024). He was knighted for \u201cServices to Physics\u201d in the Queen\u2019s Birthday Honours List, 2003.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"145767-21897794@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145767", "building_id":"1000397", "building_name":"Lurie Robert H.

She is interested in abolitionist approaches to addressing harm, specifically that which is mediated by data and technology. Their research is often conducted in collaboration with grassroots organizations and explores the various ways that state violence permeates through our relationships with institutions, ourselves, and each other and how we can resist it. Victoria received her Ph.D and Masters in Social Welfare, and was formerly a Senior Policy Analyst focused on technology and social policy.\n\nMegan Fereday is a nonbinary, multiply-neurodivergent PhD student based at the University of Southampton. Their PhD project (funded AHRC) investigates the role of social media platforms in young people\u2019s queer-neurodivergent resistance practices, and explores the possibilities and potentials of digital neuroqueering among younger users. Megan is a member of the Narratives of Neurodiversity Network and the Queer Medical Humanities Network, and is currently enrolled in the Neurodivergent Humanities Network\u2019s mentorship scheme. Megan\u2019s work has been recently published in the Journal of Cultural Analysis and Social Change. \n\nKim Fernandes is an Assistant Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at Brown University. They hold a joint PhD (with distinction) in Anthropology and Education from the University of Pennsylvania, and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information. Kim's ethnographic and historical research addresses questions of how the body is shaped through interactions with data and technology, focusing particularly on the enumeration and identification of disability. Their work has been funded by the Social Science Research Council and the Taraknath Das Foundation. Kim is the Managing Editor of Platypus, an interdisciplinary science studies blog. They are also an affiliate at Data & Society and the Center for Information, Technology and Public Life.\n\nWells Lucas Santo (he\/she\/they) is a queer, non-binary, and disabled Indonesian and Taiwanese American PhD student at the University of Michigan School of Information focusing on critical race and algorithmic justice, in particular on how algorithmic technologies disparately impact marginalized communities across the interlocking axes of race, gender, sexuality, and disability. Prior to his return to academia, he worked in the non-profit education equity space, where he built inclusive, accessible, and culturally responsive curriculum on artificial intelligence and social justice, serving as the Director of Education at SMASH (Kapor Center), the original Education Manager at AI4ALL, and an Advisory Board Member for the AI4K12 initiative. In these capacities, he has spoken about the societal implications of AI at venues such as the United Nations Youth Assembly, the Annual oSTEM Conference, and top universities such as Columbia, NYU, and CMU. His current research focuses on the \u201cAsian\u201d racial classification and its formation and history in the United States, specifically how state data, diasporic community activism, image datasets, and facial analysis algorithms reify and essentialize a US-centric, pan-Asian racial category, which is then exported transnationally as a racial\/colonial project.\n\nCheng-Hsiu (Shin) Yang is a digital governance strategist and interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of AI-integrated product design, legal frameworks, and community infrastructure. She holds an LL.M. in Interdisciplinary Legal Studies from National Chengchi University and is currently pursuing her LL.M. at UCLA School of Law (Class of 2026). With a hybrid background in law and product management, Shin has led cross-functional teams in privacy-focused AI product development, and separately, in building open-source infrastructure for independent community platforms. Her work focuses on designing ethical governance frameworks for digital spaces that operate without identity verification, public profiles, or algorithmic enforcement\u2014prioritizing anonymity, relational trust, and rhythm-based moderation. For a decade, she has maintained a self-hosted digital community platform centered in Taiwan and serving primarily Mandarin-speaking gender and sexual minorities. The platform has grown into a pluralistic ecosystem with over 50,000 monthly users, governed by ethical, and community-led practices. She has also contributed to global discussions on the governance of intimate and stigmatized content online, especially in contexts where overregulation limits expression and safety. Her research explores plural digital publics, platform ethics, and post-verification governance models.\n\nMeet the Moderator \n\nM. Remi Yergeau (they\/them\/theirs) is an associate professor in Communication and Media Studies. Their scholarly interests include critical disability studies, rhetoric, digital studies, trans and queer studies, and neurodiversity. Yergeau is an autistic academic. Their knowledge of the autistic internet is informed by the scholarly and the personal: they once ran a neurodiversity blog, led a student chapter of an autistic-led org, and coordinated local protests. Their book, Authoring Autism: On Rhetoric and Neurological Queerness (Duke UP), is a winner of the 2017 Modern Language Association First Book Prize, the 2019 CCCC Lavender Rhetorics Book Award for Excellence in Queer Scholarship, and the 2019 Rhetoric Society of America Book Award.\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

critically on discovering new reaction pathways and harnessing unusual oxidation states of earth-abundant metals. In this seminar, I will describe our recent work in two areas: (a) the rational design of molybdenum-based catalysts inspired by biological C\u2013H hydroxylases, and (b) the exploration of aluminum(II) chemistry for small molecule activation.\n\nIn the first part, I will outline our efforts to develop structural and functional mimics of Mo-dependent hydroxylases such as xanthine oxidase and ethylbenzene dehydrogenase. These studies aim to generate catalysts that can hydroxylate C\u2013H bonds in complex molecules with complementary site selectivity to existing technologies.\n\nIn the second part, I will highlight our discovery of Al\u2013Fe bond homolysis in heterobimetallic complexes as a route to Al-based radicals\u2014formally Al(II) species\u2014that exploit strain-induced biphilicity or redox non-innocence. These properties enable new pathways for small molecule activation. I will also discuss our use of data science tools to guide the development of catalytic C\u2013O bond functionalization reactions involving radical mechanisms.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138394-21882892@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138394", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "campus_maps_id":"34", "room":"1640", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Chemistry","Inorganic Chemistry","Science"], "website":"https:\/\/chem.uic.edu\/profiles\/neal-mankad\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Chemistry", "group_id":"3761", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/chem" }, { "group_name":"Inorganic Chemistry", "group_id":"4387", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21882892 } }
