Marcus Lecture Series with Dr. Catherine J. Murphy from UIUC at 4:00pm
About the Murphy Group:
Our research is at the interface of materials chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biophysical chemistry and nanotechnology. Our primary goal is to develop inorganic nanomaterials for biological and energy-related applications, and understand the chemical interactions of these nanomaterials with their surroundings. A diverse range of projects are currently pursued in the group:
