Unlike traditional mid-IR methods (i.e\, F TIR) that most often probe intramolecular motions\, terahertz lattice dyna mics encode information about intermolecular forces that can provide insig ht into various properties ranging from crystal packing\, mechanical respo nse\, and structural changes. These vibrations are highly-excited at ambie nt conditions\, and therefore they are responsible for a host of dynamic p roperties such as thermal expansion and solid-state reactivity. \n\n \n\nB y combining experimental terahertz time-domain and low-frequency Raman spe ctroscopy with solid-state density functional theory\, it is possible to n ot only assign complex terahertz spectra with confidence\, but also to con nect individual phonon modes to specific stimuli-responsive phenomena. Thi s work highlights how these capabilities can be used to understand\, and u ltimately control\, the behavior of molecular solids. collective phonons n ot only report on reactivity but may actively influence reaction pathways\ , providing new opportunities to predict\, understand\, and eventually man ipulate chemistry in the solid state. \n \n\nHost: Ignacio Franco | ignaci o.franco@rochester.edu \nSee our other upcoming seminars here: https://www .sas.rochester.edu/chm/news-events/events/seminars.html LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T002520Z LOCATION:Hutchison Hall\, 140 URL:https://events.rochester.edu/event/chemistry-colloquium-when-vibration s-become-chemistry-terahertz-phonons-dictate-reactivity-in-organic-materia ls?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=rochester-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:University of Rochester Calendar Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.rochester.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:University of Rochester Genealogy: Introduction to Historical Reco rds DTSTART:20260923T160000Z DTEND:20260923T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260827T182630Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53814555006239 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Explore the historical records that form the foundation of gen ealogy research.

This talk argues for a di fferent answer — one in which the goal is not to compete with AI but to build the interfaces through which humans and AI collaborate at their mutu al best. Within the decade\, digital overlays driven by contextual AI will begin reshaping how we perceive and navigate the world — enhancing surg ical precision\, transforming how students learn\, and redefining what it means to interact with a computer. The question is not whether this transi tion will happen\, but who will design it and toward what ends. The Univer sity of Rochester's Center for Extended Reality (CXR) brings together facu lty across engineering\, medicine\, neuroscience\, education\, and the hum anities to pursue that design challenge as a shared mission. This talk pre sents CXR's transdisciplinary framework — spanning hardware innovation i n optics and display\, human-computer interface research\, applied clinica l development\, and ethical governance — and explains why Rochester's ex isting strengths make it a natural hub for this work. The audience will he ar how each school and division on campus connects to this agenda\, and ho w CXR aims to advance Rochester's core missions of education\, research\, and health through a coherent\, collaborative vision of what human-AI inte raction can and should become.
