Dauenhauer MAY 2018 © Saurabh Maduskar 2018 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Paul Dauenhauer, who guided me throughout my Ph.D. and provided mentorship in research and professional development. His excitement and creativity towards solving challenging problems motivated me to complete the research projects. The work culture in Dauenhauer research group helped me accomplish both professional and personal goals in my graduate life. I would like to thank Dauenhauer group alumni Andrew Teixeria, Christoph Krumm, Alex Paulsen, Luke Williams for their support, mentoring, and guidance during initial years of my PhD. I would also like to thank my current lab mates Kristeen Joseph, Katherine Vinter, Omar Abdelrehman, Greg Fracas, Vineet Mallikal for their continued support and encouragement. I specially thank my batchmates Kristeen and Katie for baring with me throughout the long journey of graduate school. I would like to thank the department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Minnesota and the department of Chemical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Amherst for giving me an opportunity to work as a research assistant and graduate student with some of the brightest people I have known. I would like to thank the professors and mentors I have had at both the universities, continually igniting that spark of curiosity, forcing me to work harder. Finally, I would like to thank my family, and friends; without their support, I undoubtedly would not have made it to this point today.

  • Frontiers at the Interface of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Catalysis
    FRONTIERS AT THE INTERFACE OF HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS CATALYSIS Meeting of the Catalysis Science Program Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division Office of Basic Energy Sciences U.S. Department of Energy Westin Annapolis Annapolis, Maryland June 30 – July 2, 2013 This document was produced under contract number DE-AC05-060R23100 between the U.S. Department of Energy and Oak Ridge Associated Universities. FOREWORD The 2013 Catalysis Science Program Meeting is sponsored by the Division of Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES), U.S. Department of Energy. It is being held on June 30 through July 2, 2013, at the Westin Annapolis Hotel, Annapolis, Maryland. The purposes of this meeting are to discuss the recent advances in the chemical, physical, and biological bases of catalysis science, to foster exchange of ideas and cooperation among participants, and to discuss the new challenges and opportunities recently emerging in energy technologies. Catalysis activities within BES emphasize fundamental research aimed at initially understanding and finally controlling the chemical conversion of natural and artificial feedstocks. The long-term goal of this research is to discover fundamental principles and produce ever more insightful approaches to predict structure-reactivity behavior. Such knowledge, integrated with advances in chemical and materials synthesis, in situ and operando analytical instrumentation, and chemical kinetics and quantum chemistry methods, will allow the control of chemical reactions along desired pathways. Ultimately, this new knowledge should impact the efficiency of conversion of natural resources into fuels, chemicals, materials, or other forms of energy, while minimizing the impact to the environment. This year’s meeting is focused on three topical areas: (i) the interface of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, (ii) catalysis for biomass or solar energy conversion, and (iii) molecular catalysis, with an emphasis on organic synthesis.

  • Twenty Years of Debate with Stephen

Susskind Department of Physics Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305-4060 Abstract This is my contribution to Stephen Hawking's 60th birthday party. Happy Birth- day Stephen! 1 Crisis and Paradigm Shift Stephen, as we all know, is by far the most stubborn and infuriating person in the universe. My own scientific relation with him I think can be called adversarial. We have disagreed profoundly about deep issues concerning black holes, information and all that kind of thing. At times he has caused me to pull my hair out in frustration – and you can plainly see the result. I can assure you that when we began to argue more than two decades ago, Ihadafullheadofhair. I can also say that of all the physicists I have known he has had the strongest influence on me and on my thinking. Just about everything I have thought about since 1980 has in one way or another been a response to his profoundly insightful question about the fate of information that falls into a black hole [1]. While I firmly believe his answer was wrong, the question and his insistence on a convincing answer has forced us to rethink the foundations of physics. The result is a wholly new paradigm that is now taking shape. I am deeply honored to be here to celebrate Stephen’s monumental contributions and especially his magnificent stubbornness.

Preprint. https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.12818174.v1 Transformational catalytic performance in rate and selectivity is obtainable through catalysts that change on the time scale of catalytic turnover frequency. In this work, dynamic catalysts are defined in the context and history of forced and passive dynamic chemical systems, with classification of unique catalyst behaviors based on temporally-relevant linear scaling parameters. The conditions leading to catalytic rate and selectivity enhancement are described as modifying the local electronic or steric environment of the active site to independently accelerate sequential elementary steps of an overall catalytic cycle. These concepts are related to physical systems and devices that stimulate a catalyst using light, vibrations, strain, and electronic manipulations including electrocatalysis,
