Seminar - “Chemical Engineering & the Future of Medicine” by Vikramaditya G. Yadav, Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering & School of Biomedical Engineering, The University of British Columbia

ABSTRACT:  Chemical engineers creatively fuse the physical and chemical sciences with biology and mathematics to design processes and products that improve people’s lives. Our research group at the University of British Columbia has interpreted this compelling vision quite literally, and we pass our time applying chemical engineering to address some of the most pressing challenges in health and medicine. My seminar will detail two endeavours that sit at either end of the drug discovery and development pipeline.

Seminar - “Exploring Anionic Oxygen Activity in Li-Rich Layered Oxide Cathodes” by Wei Tong, Scientist/Principal Investigator, Energy Storage and Distributed Resources Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

ABSTRACT:  In commercial Li-ion batteries, well-ordered close-packed oxides, particularly, layered lithium transition metal oxides, LiTMO2 (TM = Ni, Mn, Co, Al), are widely used. Despite the high theoretical capacity of these layered oxides (> 270 mAh/g), they are typically operated to deliver a capacity of less than 200 mAh/g to attain good cycling and safety attributes.
