On February 11th, 2010, there was a presentation about splitting water by Mu-hyun Baik who is one of faculty members of the chemistry department of Indiana University. Nowadays, we are facing on the energy crisis. As a result, a lot of scientists are researching on developing alternative energy source. He introduced us an approach to solve a shortage of energy by imitating the way what plats do to produce energy, called photosynthesis. Overall, the presentation was very active and interesting to me.

By far the most interesting seminar yet this semester, the presentation this week by Mu-Hyun Baik considered the eternal problem of solving the energy crisis of the world. The most exciting facet of Baik's research, though, is that not only could his revolutionary new technique be used to more efficiently store the sun's energy, but it could help the USA become free from oversea suppliers of fossil fuels.

This week's installment of ChemSem was presented by Mu-Hyun Baik an Associate Professor at the University of Indiana. His topic concerned better methods of catalyzing water decomposition to gain the electrons that would be necessary in creating long chain synthetic organic fossil fuel imitations.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Biak’s visit this past Thursday, not only can he hold an audience’s attention, but he can feed them too! I believe it is safe to say that food to a college student is as good as gold, so with some full stomachs in the audience he was off to a great start. Dr. Mu-Hyun “Mookie” Baik came to us from the Chemistry Department of Indiana University-Bloomington where he is currently the Associate Professor of Chemistry & Associate Professor of Informatics.  Biak received his Ph.D.

The chemistry seminar that was held on Feb. 11, 2010 was “Solving the Energy Crisis by Splitting Water.” The guest speaker, Mu-Hyun Baik is currently associate professor at Indiana University. Before he came to Indiana University, he received his B.S. in chemistry in Germany, and his Ph.D. in theoretical graduate research.

This past thursday's seminar speaker was Mu-Hyun (Mookie) Baik.  Dr.Baik has a Ph.D in theoretical in inorganic chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has started an independent academic career. With his research group the topics of interest are transition metal chemistry with a heavy emphasis on catalysis. Currently Baik is working with computer stimulations in studying water oxidation, which they found was a good source for electrons.

The presenter for this week's chemistry seminar was Professor Mu-Hyun Baik (Mookie) Baik. The title for his presentation was "Towards solving the energy crisis: mechanistic studies on catalytically splitting water." Associate Professor in chemistry at Indiana University, Dr. Baik's  graduate fellowship experience with famous chemistry professor, Cynthia K. Schauer, and his postdoctoral research fellowship experience with another famous chemistry professor, Richard A. Friesner, showed that he has much knowledge and experience in chemistry.

Professor Mu-Hyun Baik from Indiana University gave a refreshingly exciting presentation this past Thursday on his talk on using computational chemistry in order to tackle some tough questions regarding photosynthesis-like water splitting reactions, which also have potential in solving the energy crisis. Baik seeks to use computational chemistry to use transition metals like Ruthenium to serve as catalysts to reactions similar to that found in photosynthesis.

It was the best seminar of the school year.  Associate Professor Mu-Hyun Baik, arrived at Andrews university from The University of Indiana.  Professor Baik received his B.S. in chemistry from the Heinrich-Heine-University in Dusseldorf, Germany and his Ph.D. in theoretical inorganic chemistry form the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Cray graduate research fellow with Prof. Cynthia K Schauer in 2000.  Prior to working at Indiana University on independent academic careers in 2003 Dr.
