DESCRIPTION:Zoom link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/82152391999\n\nAbstract:\n
 \nNanopatterned surfaces are of central importance to a variety of areas a
 nd applications\, such as computer chip architectures\, tissue interfacing
 \, biosensors\, light management and plasmonics\, among others. Typically\
 , the various approaches to nanopatterning of surfaces\, including silicon
 \, are broken into two major classes: top-down methods such as photolithog
 raphy\, e-beam lithography and scanning force microscopy variants\, and bo
 ttom-up synthetic techniques\, including self-assembly. Since lithography 
 is the single most expensive step in computer chip manufacturing\, the use
  of self-assembled block copolymers (BCPs) templates on surfaces is being 
 seriously considered by the semiconductor industry to pattern sub-20 nm fe
 atures on a semiconductor surface\; the Industry Technology Roadmap for Se
 miconductors (ITRS) terms this approach ‘directed self-assembly’\, or DSA.
  Here\, we will describe the remarkable versatility of using BCPs\, polyme
 rs that contain sufficient chemical information to form highly ordered tem
 plates over large areas. Recently\, the experimental observation of what a
 re termed static distortion waves (SDWs) [also referred to as mass distort
 ion waves (MDWs)] that are local chiral twisting of lattices\, has become 
 a topic of extreme interest in the area of 2D-based materials - perfect ti
 ming as the discovery of SDWs/MDWs in block copolymer-based self-assembled
  structures that are at least an order of magnitude larger in scale serve 
 as an easily studied and tailored model for these motifs on 2D materials.
 \n\nBio:\n\nJillian M. Buriak FRSC is a Canadian chemist\, currently a Can
 ada Research Chair in Nanomaterials at University of Alberta and a Fellow 
 of the Royal Society of Canada\, American Association for the Advancement 
 of Science (AAAS) and Royal Society of Chemistry. She is known for her wor
 k developing flexible\, lightweight solar cells made from nanoparticles. B
 y spraying a plastic surface with nanomaterials\, she's able to fabricate 
 a transparent layer of electrode that acts as solar cells. Due to the flex
 ibility\, they could be incorporated onto different surfaces.\n\nShe has a
 n A.B. degree from Harvard University (1990) and a Ph.D. from Université L
 ouis Pasteur (1995)\, Strasbourg\, working on organometallic chemistry and
  catalysis. She held a postdoctoral appointment at the Scripps Research In
 stitute at La Jolla\, California\, working on self-assembly of nanostructu
 res on surfaces. Buriak started her independent faculty career at Purdue U
 niversity in 1997\, was promoted to associate professor\, with tenure\, in
  2001. In 2003\, she joined the University of Alberta as a full professor.
 \n\nFrom 2003 to 2008\, Buriak was on the Board of Reviewing Editors (BoRE
 ) at Science (handling 7-10 papers per week). She was an associate editor 
 at ACS Nano from 2009 to 2013 (handling >500 papers per year). In 2014\, s
 he was appointed as the editor-in-chief of Chemistry of Materials handling
  ~5000 papers per year.\n
