Organizer: Angel Martí (Rice University)
Duration: 1.5 days

This symposium will highlight research from a variety of photophysical and photochemical processes in inorganic materials. Inorganic materials will be broadly defined as nanomaterials, such as metal nanoparticles, semiconductors, nanotubes, and sheets; soft mater such as inorganic surfactants and liquid crystals; and supramolecular materials such as MOFs, zeolites, clays and layered materials. The study of photoactive organic and inorganic molecules encapsulated, adsorbed or associated with inorganic materials is also of interest for this symposium. We anticipate topics related to sensing, solar fuels, energy transfer, electron transfer, photochemical transformations, photodynamic therapy, quantum dots, and photoluminescent materials, among others.

Organizer: Maria Oliver-Hoyo NC State University, mtoliver@ncsu.edu

Finding alternative ways to observe objects or processes that cannot be seen by the naked eye is critical in chemistry instruction. This symposium will showcase both practice and research-based approaches that have shown effectiveness in promoting visualization and consequently, understanding of chemical concepts. Topics of interest may include the use of well-designed interventions and resources, role of modeling in the development of visualization tools, instruments to monitor the promotion of visual-skills, and visualization as a path to achieve cognitive gains. Abstracts must clearly describe the methodology and results from either the practice and/or research components.

Organizers: Ajay Mallia, Georgia Gwinnett College (amallia@ggc.edu) and Douglas Masterson, The University of Southern Mississippi (douglas.masterson@usm.edu)
Date: Saturday, October 22,2022, (9:00 am)

Starting from 1968, ACS Project SEED helped more than 11,000 high school students to participate in a summer research program at academia, industry, or government institutions. This symposium will showcase presentations from project SEED coordinators, mentors, and committee members about successfully planning and organizing the SEED program. This symposium will also highlight the research poster presentations of Project SEED HS students.
