MS in Chemical Sciences Thesis Defense
2:30pm
at Clendenin Building, CL 2010
Speaker: Blaise Williams, MSCB student
Title: From BN-Doping to Multifunctional Sensing: Engineering Electron-Deficient BN-Heteroarenes with Tunable Photophysical Responses
Abstract: Boron-nitrogen-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BN-PAHs) have emerged as a versatile platform for designing fluorescent materials with highly tunable optical properties. Incorporation of nitro (–NO₂) groups into BN-heteroaromatic frameworks produces electron-deficient fluorophores with desirable red-shifted absorption and emission; however, strong intermolecular π···π stacking due to strong dipole-dipole interactions often lead to aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), severely limiting fluorescence performance. Building on our previous work, we utilized molecular twisting to suppress these detrimental interactions and promote aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Although twisted NO₂-substituted BN-heteroaromatics successfully alleviate ACQ, poor solubility has remained a significant barrier to comprehensive photophysical characterization. Herein, we incorporated benzoxadiazole- and benzothiadiazole-based electron-withdrawing heterocycles into the BN-heteroaromatic scaffold to overcome this limitation. These structural modifications expand π-conjugation, reduce the HOMO-LUMO energy gap, preserve the twisted molecular geometry, and dramatically improve solubility while maintaining red-shifted optical properties. The enhanced solubility enables detailed investigations of solvent-, temperature-, halide-, and ion-responsive fluorescence behavior. This work establishes a powerful molecular design strategy for developing highly soluble, electron-deficient BN-based fluorophores that combine red-shifted emission, reduced aggregation effects, and exceptional responsiveness to external stimuli. These findings advance the development of next-generation fluorescent sensors and optoelectronic materials.

Mathematics Colloquium Series
2:00pm
at Mathematics Building, D 218
Speaker: Dr. Suzanne Fernandes-Sindi, The University of California, Merced
Title: “Learning from Data: Discovering Models and Expanding Pathways in Science”

Abstract: How can we learn the underlying rules of complex biological systems directly from data? In this talk, I will share recent work at the intersection of mathematical biology and machine learning, focusing primarily on the discovery of deterministic mathematical models from data generated by multiple agent-based simulations. I will also briefly discuss related work on equation learning for stochastic chemical reaction models. Together, these approaches illustrate how data-driven methods can help us uncover mathematical structure in complex biological systems.

I will also share some of my experiences creating opportunities for students to learn about careers in science through hands-on, collaborative research. I have been part of two long-running efforts that connect students with scientists and research environments beyond the university—one in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and another with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute. These programs have given students opportunities to work on authentic scientific problems while helping them see the many different paths a career in science can take.

- How to become a Teaching Assistant (TA) in Chemistry and Biochemistry: talk to chemistry & biochemistry lab coordinators
- Student organizations AMSA, SAACS, and ASBMB, and learn how to get involved and connect with other students who share your interests: Talk to their representatives.
- Study abroad opportunities led by biochemistry faculty and how international experiences can become part of your academic journey – talk to biochemistry faculty that lead study abroad courses!
This is an opportunity to meet people, ask questions, explore opportunities, and begin finding your place in the biochemistry community because your college experience is also about building relationships, discovering your interests, and becoming part of a community that supports your success.

Discrete Mathematics Seminar
2:00pm
at Mathematics Building, D 259
Speaker: Zane Li, North Carolina State University
Title: “Mixed norm decoupling for paraboloids”
Abstract: In this talk, we discuss mixed norm decoupling estimates for the paraboloid. One motivation of considering such an estimate is a conjectured mixed norm Strichartz estimate on the torus which essentially is a mean value estimate about exponential sums when measured in $L^{q}_{t}L^{r}_{x}$ for certain exponents $q$ and $r$. This is joint work with Shival Dasu, Hongki Jung, and José Madrid.

The Discrete Math Seminar (DMS) is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of algebra, number theory, and discrete mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.
