Lecture/Seminar - Natural Sciences | March 3 | 3-4 p.m. | Classroom Building, COB 267

Location:  5200 North Lake Rd, Merced, CA 95343

Speaker/Performer: Dr. Phillip Christopher, Assistant Professor, University of California Riverside

Sponsor: Physics-Chemistry

Phillip Christopher, a professor at UC Riverside, will present a lecture entitled "Catalytic Applications of Nanotechnology Photo Catalyst Design and Mechanistic Analysis."

It has been estimated that 30 percent of the world's GSP relies on catalytic processes. Even with this enormous driving force, the majority of catalytic processes are characterized by high energy requirements.

One of the major scientific and technological goals of the 21st century is the development of new catalytic materials that facilitate efficient conversion of sustainable natural resources such as solar, biomass and water, into fuels and commodities that people already use.
