Title: On-Demand Control of Single-Molecule Chemistry through Vibrational Characterization and Manipulation
Chemical processes hinge on the dynamic rearrangement of nuclei within molecules. Controlling these motions with precision has been a long-standing goal in chemistry. My lab focuses on achieving this by manipulating interactions between individual molecules and their nanoscale environment. We engineer the potential energy surface at this scale to control molecular properties such as structure and reactivity. Using vibrational characterization techniques with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)—including inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy, action spectroscopy, and our recent advancement in single-molecule infrared absorption spectroscopy—we analyze molecular responses to the variation in the nano-chemical environment by examining their fingerprinting vibrational modes at the sub-molecular scale. By precisely tuning the junction geometry, material, and the interaction between the molecule and other surface entities, we can selectively influence specific bonds, paving the way for bond-selective control in chemistry.
3:00–4:00 p.m.
Come on your own or with a team to answer some trivia questions about Peace Corps countries, Oregon history, geography, flags, culture, and more!

Prior literature on Indigenous Food Sovereignty has delved into issues such as seed sovereignty, impacts of climate change, and the revival and protection of cultural lifeways worldwide. However, there is very little research on the impact of laws on food sovereignty. Join UO student Elyse Decker for a discussion of the impacts of laws at the international, national, and state level on subsistence food practices of Alaska Native communities.
Decker hypothesized that international laws and Alaska state laws would have only a slight impact on food sovereignty, and that United States federal law would exert the most control because of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act and the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The multi-methods research strongly supported half of this hypothesis. Through a literature review and semi-structured interviews with Food Sovereignty experts followed by qualitative analysis, Decker found that international laws, including the United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, have very little influence on Alaska Native food sovereignty. United States federal law and Alaska state law greatly control subsistence living, commonly conflicting with each other, creating a complex and unwieldly system for Indigenous peoples. The presentation will conclude with recommendations for strengthening Indigenous food sovereignty.
4:00–6:00 p.m.
Landing an internship or your first junior-level job in computer programming, data analytics, UX design, and other tech-savvy roles requires more than just a resume skill section with buzzwords --you need to “show your work”!
Join us for an interactive workshop with UO Libraries: Data Services & the UO Career Center to learn how to create a free digital portfolio on GitHub to highlight your coding and career readiness skills for future employers & open-source projects.
Great for students with ZERO experience who are creating a game plan for how they want to gain experience in the years ahead to students who are getting ready to graduate and create their portfolio today. ALL ARE WELCOME!
Come curious and bring your laptop (or you can borrow one!) 45-minute workshop followed by 45 minutes to explore the platform and get advice from library and career services staff, and maybe an alumni or two!
RSVP on Handshake or with the Library to get reminders and extra resources! Accommodation requests? Contact DataServices@uoregon.edu
