This installment of ChemSem was presented by Dr. Elizabeth M. Sanford from Hope College in west Michigan. Though her talk varied widely across several topics, she focused largely on the emerging technology of organic compounds which can be synthesized to phosphoresce when stimulated by an electrical signal. The applications for this technology are almost boundless considering the miniaturization of LCD's and the potential for flexible screens and low energy lighting possibilities.

The seminar on March 11th, 2010 was presented by Dr. Elizabeth Sanford, a professor of Chemistry at Hope College.  Dr.Sanford started her presentation by first telling us about the research currently going on in her lab.  Their were two main areas she was focusing on, conductive polymers and Sol-gel experiments.  When speaking of conductive polymers she described using Glich polymerization and the Wittig reaction to produce synthetic organic material consisting of mainly thiophenes. The second topic Dr.

The guest speaker who had presentation on March 11, 2010 was Elizabeth M. Sanford. She is currently associate professor at Hope college, received her BA in chemistry from Smith College. She also received a PhD in chemistry from UCLA. She came to Andrews to talk about two subjects; “the preparation of highly conjugated compounds for Device for Applications” and “the preparation of functional Sol-Gels for control of cell Growth.”

There was a chemistry presentation given by Elizabeth M. Sanford on March eleventh, 2010. Dr. Sanford is one of the faculty members of the Hope College which is located in Holland, MI. Dr. Sanford’s presentation consisted of two parts. One of them was about preparation highly conjugated compounds for device application. The other was preparation of functional sol-gels for control of cell growth. Generally, her presentation was very active, and energetic, which attracted my attention at once.

With everyone eagerly awaiting spring break, which for many was only 50 minutes away, we all gathered in the chemistry amphitheater for yet another seminar in chemistry, this time from Dr. Elizabeth Sanford of Hope College. She spoke to us about several topics her teams are working on, but she also talked about how her teams also go on mission trips abroad since she represents a Christian college.

This week’s presenter Elizabeth M. Sanford spoke of two topics: one dealing with the preparation of highly conjugated compounds as well as the functional of sol-gels for the control of cell growth. Sanford graduated with a BA in Chemistry from Smith College and her current research focuses on the development of new materials for applications in electronics and the biomedical sciences. Sanford’s presentation was very understandable and she explained the topic very well making eye contact with the audience and being enthusiastic about the topics.

I’m sure that for most of the students, chemistry seminar is their last course to attend before heading off for spring break. So, it would be natural for the atmosphere to be distracted and antsy. However, our speaker Elizabeth M. Sanford was able to catch my attention and keep me interested in her presentation. An associate professor at Hope College in nearby Holland, MI, Sanford seemed both an impressive researcher and teacher.
