Speaker: Professor Adam Jaffe, Assistant Professor, University of Notre Dame
Title: Hybrid Bronzes
Adam Jaffe is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Notre Dame. He received his A.B. in Chemistry from Princeton University (2012), followed by his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from Stanford University (2017). There he worked with Prof. Hemamala I. Karunadasa to explore optical and electronic properties of hybrid materials, including their energy-storage, light-emission, and compression-induced behavior. He joined the lab of Prof. Jeffrey R. Long at the University of California, Berkeley (2017–2021) as an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA Postdoctoral Fellow, where he studied the separation of O2 from air in redox-active porous materials. He then started his independent career at the University of Notre Dame in 2021, where the Jaffe Group now develops new hybrid material platforms to target energy-related challenges and examines their structure-property relationships, including under high pressure.
