DESCRIPTION:Join us for this PSI seminar with guest speaker Dr. Joel Loh.
  Metamaterials are unique structures with light-matter interaction prope
 rties that are not seen in nature. The growing climate crisis has driven
  efforts to recycle and reduce our carbon emissions. This can be achieve
 d by reducing the energy inputs or by seeking lower energetic pathways i
 n common industrial reactions that create or reform chemical feedstock. 
 I will discuss several examples of how metamaterial properties\, associa
 ted with super-blackbody\, impedance matching\, bound-in-continuum state
 s\, and anapole resonances can be used to drive catalytic reactions. Thi
 s is a young\, emerging field with many unknowns in the interaction of m
 etamaterial and its environment with heat\, photo and/or electrical inpu
 ts. I will hypothesize about how conventional materials and surface char
 acterization of the activation\, adsorption\, reaction and desorption st
 ages of a reaction pathway can lead to insights in understanding these u
 nique interactions. Understanding and designing these interactions will 
 enable us to optimize metamaterials for a wide range important reactions
 \, as well as benefit adjacent fields such as sensing and optics. \n\n\n
