Best Poster Prize at Gordon Conference on Electron Donor-Acceptor Interactions
Last week, Prof. Hutchison presented a poster on our molecular piezoelectric research, “Donor-Acceptor Molecule Piezoelectrics: Electromechanical Materials from the Bottom Up” at the 2012 Gordon Research Conference on Electron Donor-Acceptor Interactions. The work was picked as one of the three best posters at the conference, and he gave a presentation on Thursday night in one of the coveted “poster talk” slots.
Paula presents a poster at the GRC: Electronic Processes in Organic Materials
Last week, Paula presented a poster titled “Investigation of Charge Transport Dynamics via Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy” at the Gordon Research Conference in Lucca, Italy. The conference, titled Electronic Processes in Organic Materials, was a great introduction into the field and she came back with helpful suggestions and feedback on the project.

Group Members Accepted to Speak at ACS Meeting
Group members Steve Owens, Andrey Sharapov, Xinfeng Quan, and Xialing Chen have been accepted to give talks while attending the fall meeting of the American Chemical Society in Philadelphia August 19-23, 2012.
Professor Hutchison will also be giving several talks.
Congratulations! More details on the talks will be posted when available later this summer.
Five Posters at COPE-Solvay Organic Electronics Symposium
The 6th Annual COPE-Solvay Symposium on Organic Electronics is in Pittsburgh, and the group is presenting 5 posters, covering a range of our research, from organic piezoelectrics to charge transport experiments and simulations and new materials discovery.
Seminars at Williams and Bryn Mawr Colleges
Earlier this semester, Prof. Hutchison gave talks at Williams College (his alma mater) and Bryn Mawr on work in the group. At Williams, he was named a Class of 1960 Scholar in Chemistry, a program which allows the undergrad students increased interaction with visiting speakers.
