LSU GSSPC

We had an amazing time at ACS NOLA! We got confirmation on our 9th speaker, the amazing Dean Astumian! We met one of our confirmed speakers, Ivan Aprahamian. We got to see a great symposium on nanotechnology put on by Florida GSSPC, including getting to hear and talk with a Nobel Laureate! We are so excited to keep planning our symposium and work with all the amazing ACS people we met!

The 8th speaker we have lined up for our symposium is Dr. Saw-Wai Hla from Ohio University. Dr. Hla's group uses tunneling spectroscopy methods to both analyze and control molecular machines. We are excited to see Dr. Hla in Orlando next year!

The next speaker that we are honored to have is Dr. Henry Hess from Columbia University! Dr. Hess is doing amazing work at the interface between biological and synthetic nanomachinery. We are very excited to have Dr. Hess speaking at our symposium!

The next speaker we are proud to announce is Dr. Miguel Garcia-Garibay from UCLA! Dr. Garcia-Garibay is doing some really awesome work with molecular rotors, and we are happy to add him to our lineup of amazing speakers!

Here is the next molecular machines expert that will give a talk at our symposium: Dr. Tamar Seideman from Northwestern University! Dr. Seideman is doing some great work with computational chemistry, helping to understand molecular machines, and we are happy to have her!

The next speaker we are proud to announce is James Tour! Dr. Tour will be coming to our symposium from Rice University. Dr. Tour is doing some amazing research with graphene and even designs some pretty awesome "nanocars." Check his research out when you get a chance!

Here is our next confirmed speaker: Dr. David Leigh has agreed to travel all the way from the University of Manchester for our symposium next year! If you haven't had the chance, head over and check out our website where we feature some amazing images from Dr. Leigh's group!

Time for us to announce another speaker! We have the awesome Ivan Aprahamian from Dartmouth speaking at our symposium at ACS National Convention in 2019. He is doing some awesome work with molecular machines and we are lucky to have him!

LSU GSSPC has 8 confirmed speakers! Headlined by none other than 2016 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Sir Fraser Stoddart! Check back for more information on our confirmed speakers!

Welcome to the official site of the LSU GSSPC. We have been selected to host a symposium at the 2019 ACS National Convention in Orlando, Fl.

Our symposium is titled "Artificial Molecular Machines and the Next Generation of Moelcular Control."
