SUMMARY:Dynamic Organic Crystals
LOCATION:Sala Actes Facultat de Ciències (UAB)
DESCRIPTION:\nIN-PERSON EVENT \nBy Prof. Panče Naumov, New York University Abu Dhabi, A
 bu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates\nAbstract:\n\nThe anticipated shift in focal
  point of interest of solid- state chemists, crystal engineers and crystall
 ographers from structure to properties to function of organic solids parall
 els the need to apply our accumulated understanding of the intricacies of c
 rystal structure to explaining the related properties, with the ultimate go
 al of harnessing that knowledge in applications that require soft, light-we
 ight, and/or biocompatible organic solids. In these developments, the adapt
 ive molecular single crystals [1-5] warrant a particular attention as a new
  class of materials for light, flexible, and environmentally benign devices
 , primarily memories, capacitors, sensors, and actuators. United under the 
 umbrella term “crystal adaptronics”, the recent research efforts aim to rea
 listically assess the appositeness of dynamic crystals for applications tha
 t require fast, reversible and continuous operation over prolonged periods 
 of time. With the aim to highlight the most recent developments in the rese
 arch of adaptive molecular crystals, this lecture will discuss their assets
  and pitfalls.\n\nKeywords: Organic Crystals; Dynamics; Mechanical Properti

 olds the position of full professor of chemistry with tenure at New York Un
 iversity Abu Dhabi (NYUAD). He also serves as a Global Network Professor of
  Chemistry at New York University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences and holds 
 a cross-appointment at New York University's Molecular Design Institute. Ad
 ditionally, he acts as the Director of the NYUAD Center for Smart Engineeri
 ng Materials (CSEM), and leads the Smart Materials Lab (SML) at NYUAD. Naum
 ov has been a fellow of the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University. Naum
 ov's Smart Materials Lab is widely recognized as the leading research team 
 in chemistry and materials science in the UAE. According to Nature Index, t
 he lab's output accounts for approximately 40-60% of both the number and fr
 actional count of the high-impact publications in chemistry in the country 
 each year.\n\nNaumov obtained his PhD in chemistry and materials science fr
 om the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2004, complemented by a BSc from Ss
  Cyril & Methodius University in Macedonia. Prior to joining NYU Abu Dh
 abi and NYU, he held research fellow positions at the Japanese National Ins
 titute for Materials Science (NIMS) and faculty roles at Osaka University a
 nd Kyoto University in Japan. With a research portfolio comprising over 300
  publications, Naumov's group has secured over USD 15 million in extramural
  funds, along with substantial start-up and internal funding over the last 
 two decades. He has delivered approximately 400 presentations at conference
 s and scientific gatherings, including over 100 invited talks at various in
 stitutions. Since 2012, he has mentored more than 60 students, overseeing P
 hD theses, undergraduate projects, and Capstone projects. Naumov is an acti
 ve reviewer for around 100 international journals and over ten national and
  international funding agencies. Naumov serves as a member of the editorial
  or advisory boards for several reputable journals, such as Angewandte Chem
 ie, Chemistry - A European Journal, Chemistry - an Asian Journal, Smart Mol
 ecules, SmartMat, FlexMat, Wearable Electronics, and ChemNanoMat. Furthermo
 re, he has contributed as a guest editor for the Proceedings of the Nationa
 l Academy of Sciences of the USA and holds the position of Associate Editor
  for the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), overseeing solid-
 state chemistry, photochemistry, crystallography, and crystal engineering.\
 n\nNaumov holds the esteemed position of founder, secretary, and treasurer 
 of the Industrial Liaisons of the UAE Chapter of the American Chemical Soci
 ety (ACS). He also holds the prestigious title of founding President of the
  Emirates Crystallographic Society (ECS). Naumov is a councilor of the Euro
 pean Crystallographic Association (ECA), a consultant, and a member of the 
 Commission on Structural Chemistry for the International Union of Crystallo
 graphy (IUCr). Additionally, he is honored to serve as a member of the Natu
 ral Sciences Advisory Board and the Science in Media Committee of the Emira
 tes Science Council. Naumov is recognized as a fellow of both the American 
 Chemical Society (ACS) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). In recogni
 tion of his outstanding achievements, he received a graduate fellowship fro
 m the Japanese Ministry of Education and Science in 2000, the Human Frontie
 r Science (HFSP) award in 2011, the Asian and Oceanian Photochemistry Assoc
 iation Prize in 2014, the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award from the 
 Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2015, the Radcliffe fellowship at Harv
 ard University in 2018, the Hans and Marlies Zimmer International Scholar P
 rogram Award in 2020, and a special visa from the UAE Government for except
 ional contributions to the country in 2020. He is currently a member of est
 eemed organizations including the American Chemical Society, The Royal Soci
 ety of Chemistry (RSC), the European Academy of Sciences, the European Crys
 tallographic Association (ECA), the American Crystallographic Association (
 ACA), the Mohamed Bin Rashid Academy of Scientists (MBRAS), which is the Na
 tional Academy of Science of the UAE, and the Macedonian Academy of Science
 s and Arts (MASA), among others.\nHosted by Prof. Daniel Maspoch, ICREA Res
