SUMMARY:Colloquium\, Dr. Shilpa Sharma\, UWM Chemistry Postdoctoral Research Scholar
DESCRIPTION:From Graduate School to Postdoc: Lessons\, Challenges\, and Research Experiences\n\nThe transition from graduate school to a postdoctoral position often brings changes in expectations\, responsibilities\, and ways of thinking about research and career goals. In this seminar\, I will share my experience moving from graduate training into a postdoc\, focusing on what felt different\, what was challenging\, and what I wish I had known earlier.\nWe will begin with a brief overview of my academic background and how I approached the postdoc application process\, including factors that influenced my decision. I will then discuss key differences between graduate school and postdoctoral work\, such as increased independence\, shifting mentoring dynamics\, and expectations around productivity and ownership of research.\nThe seminar will also include an overview of how I initiated my postdoctoral research. I will present three projects I have worked on\, highlighting the scientific questions\, computational approaches\, and selected results to illustrate how research projects develop in a new environment.\nFinally\, I will reflect on broader topics such as skill development\, work-life balance\, and how I am thinking about future career directions. The goal of this seminar is to provide a practical and honest perspective that may help graduate students better prepare for the transition to a postdoc.

SUMMARY:Guest Speaker\, Sharani Roy\, Ph.D.\, University of Tennessee
DESCRIPTION:Digging deeper into the surface – Investigating subsurface oxygen and its reactivity in silver using lattice-gas models\, DFT\, and Monte Carlo simulations \nFirst-row atoms\, such as hydrogen\, carbon\, and oxygen\, not only adsorb on the surface of a solid but are small enough to diffuse into the near-surface or subsurface region. The percolation of adsorbates through the surface raises many fundamental questions\, such as\, what conditions promote subsurface adsorption? Does the same adsorbate have different chemical properties in the subsurface compared to the surface? How do subsurface adsorbates influence chemical reactions on surfaces? To address these questions\, we extended the theoretical framework of lattice-gas models to describe both coverage-dependent surface and subsurface adsorption in crystalline solids. Using this framework\, we developed an all-site DFT-parameterized lattice-gas model for O/Ag(111) and integrated it with Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the thermodynamic distributions of atomic oxygen on the surface and in the subsurface of Ag(111). The results show that subsurface adsorption becomes thermodynamically favorable for oxygen coverages greater than 0.375 ML. Furthermore\, we applied the simulations to construct the first ab initio phase diagram of O/Ag(111) that shows the pressure and temperature ranges within which subsurface oxygen coexists with surface oxygen on Ag(111). Our results indicate that subsurface oxygen is present under the industrial conditions used for the catalytic partial oxidation of olefins on silver nanoparticles. Finally\, we computed the reaction pathway for the conversion of ethylene to ethylene oxide on Ag(111) using DFT and found significant changes to the reaction barriers with increased oxygen coverage and the presence of subsurface oxygen.

SUMMARY:Sosnovsky Lectureship Series - Guest Speaker Prof. Marc Greenberg from Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Chemical Tools for DNA-Protein Cross-Link Formation and Study \nDNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) are highly toxic lesions formed via a variety of chemical pathways and as intermediates in enzyme transformations. DPCs are potent blocks of helicases\, as well as DNA and RNA polymerases. DPCs are associated with aging and diseases such as cancer. Recently\, DPCs were also shown to result in chronic inflammation. Despite their importance\, our understanding of DPCs has lagged that of other forms of DNA damage. For instance\, the first protease identified to repair DPCs in human cells (SPRTN) was only identified in the past decade. Our group is developing chemical tools for producing DPCs. These tools are useful for studying DPCs extra- and intracellularly and are potentially useful pharmacologically. Recent published and unpublished investigations will be presented.
