On October 20th, Dr. Hutchison gave a departmental seminar at the University of Buffalo.

Science 2010 was the tenth annual celebration of science and technology at the University of Pittsburgh.

Dr. Hutchison participated in a spotlight session titled “Material Related to Energy.”  His talk, Next Generation Solar Cells: Faster, Cheaper, Better, outlined the group’s developing research project on the development of the organic solar cells of the future, combining research and theory to push solar energy to the forefront of commercial energy solutions.

This week, Dr. Hutchison gave a talk in the Department of Physics at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Hutchison and Tamika Madison just returned from attending the spring American Chemical Society Meeting in San Francisco, CA.

At Science 2009 (Unplugged), Dr. Hutchison was asked to give a talk about the rational design of electronic materials from the ground up.  During the talk, he highlighted the group’s research methodology of first systematically screening conducting polymers for their potential use in electronic materials, then approaching the molecule synthetically to determine the feasibility of its creation and use in certain materials.

Great Talk!

Prof. Hutchison was invited to the first “Telluride School in Theoretical Chemistry” (TSTC) to talk about both theory and experiment in nanomaterials and molecular electronics. All his lectures are archived online.

Dr. Hutchison just attended the Spring American Physical Society Meeting, during which, he was the chair of a focus session on nanomaterials for energy applications.
