题 目：Questioning the Relevance of FRET When Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence Applies 报告人：Prof. Jean Duhamel University of Waterloo 时 间：2016年6月22日（星期三）上午10点 地 点：化学楼H201室（蒋雯若报告厅） 联系人：薛奇教授 xuegi@nju.edu.cn 报告人简介：Jean Duhamel received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Industries Chimiques, Nancy, France in 1987. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine, Nancy, France in 1989 and his Post doc from the University of Toronto in 1990 and the University of Pennsylvania in 1993. Jean Duhamel is currently a Full Professor in University of Waterloo. The Duhamel’s Group has been characterizing the behavior of polymers in solution using a variety of techniques. Among those techniques, fluorescence is certainly the workh orse of their research, in particular, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and excimer spectroscopy. The research projects aim at modeling the flexibility of polyolefins and polypeptides using fluorescence decay measurements and applying a blob-based approach. The dynamics of polypeptides random coils and rods are being investigated. The ability of polypeptides at carrying a hydrophobic drug mimic is also determined. Solutions of associative polymers have peculiar viscoelastic properties which have found applications in the oil and paint industries. They are determining the level of association of water- and oil-soluble associative polymers by fluorescence. It is correlated with the viscoelastic properties of the solutions. 伟德源自英国始于1946 高分子科学与工程系 |
