Campus Reopening Notice

Starting June 16th, vaccinated EECS faculty, staff, and students can voluntarily return to their offices, labs and other research spaces in Cory and Soda Halls if they follow the procedures outlined in the EECS Safety Manual.  Building restrictions for non-affiliated collaborators, event attendees, and visitors will continue but be loosened over time. Cory and Soda Halls will open during the first week in August.  We are not hosting events or activities until we receive more clarity about regulatory requirements and are able to resume full operations. Most employees will return to campus on July 12th, and in-person instruction will resume for the Fall semester on August 25th, unless otherwise specified by campus. Please continue to check the University Coronavirus Updates and Resources for latest information.

Nanostructured Silicon as a Therapeutic and Diagnostic Tool: Nano Seminar series

180 Tan Hall
  • Distinguished Prof. Michael J. Sailor, UC San Diego, MRSEC / Chem / MSE
This presentation describes the chemistry and properties of mesoporous silicon nanoparticles relevant to sensing and treating diseased tissues in vivo. Nanophase silicon is one of few semiconductor "quantum dot" materials that is non-toxic and that degrades to non-toxic byproducts. For in vivo applications, advantages include the tissue-penetrating near-infrared wavelength of emission, the...

The Migration of Engineered Nanomaterials Out of Nanotechnology-Enabled Polymers and into Foods and Other Environments: Nano Seminar Series

Zoom session
  • Timothy V Duncan, PhD, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Food Processing Science and Technology
Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are an emerging class of materials in which nanoscale fillers are dispersed within a polymer. PNCs have attracted considerable interest as base materials for next generation food packaging, medical devices, and other consumer product applications. To better understand the potential for humans to be exposed to engineered nanomaterials from PNCs, there is a need to...

Twist Degree of Freedom - From 2D Materials to Photonic Crystals: Nano Seminar series

180 Tan Hall
  • Prof. Jie Yao, UC Berkeley, Materials Science & Engineering
The recent development of 2D materials and photonic systems enabled the exploration of the twist degree of freedom. By adjusting the relative orientations of two adjacent layered structures, new phenomena such as Moire pattern enabled properties emerge, leading to unprecedented opportunities in the exploration of both electronic materials and photonic systems. My group has been focused on the...
